Re: Roxburgh park lake trout?
Anyone know if you are allowed to fish in Jack Roper reserve? I haven't been there at all and I know there was a big fish kill a couple of years back? You guys reckon there are any redfin in there?

Re: Roxburgh park lake trout?
You should be allowed to fish Jack Roper, I've read plenty of reports from there over the years. Most people come away with donuts, seems a very poor place to fish going by what's been written (or more like what's not been written) about it online. There's probably a few reddies and carp lurking in there but I wouldn't hold my breath. It has good landbased access at least.GregExplores wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 2:25 pmAnyone know if you are allowed to fish in Jack Roper reserve?

Thank you for all the information mate! Hopefully there are some Reddies in there and I can get onto some. Ill let you know if I get onto some Reddies whenever I go down to give it a try!Charles7 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:19 pmYou should be allowed to fish Jack Roper, I've read plenty of reports from there over the years.
