There is a drain connecting Cogley lake to hill lake so I'm sure trout would find there way in there

they are all connected , hill to sutton to cogley... probably why they dont put them directly into cogley anyway.
never heard of any trout taken from there though id imagine there have been

Well this year there only said rowville lakes 550 not specifying how many into main and back one .. they can't get to the front lake if the waters to low and if they jumped over the concrete wall they would be stuck in the drain under the rd because the front lake is really low.
Was at lilydale yesterday for hour or so and got onto 2 reddies 1 nice sized 1, and mate did nearly 7 hours ther for only 2 rainbows had power bait n scrubbys out but nothing on them caught them on a rapala

Looks like a barra I wonder how they got there...

Re stocking and eating fish from the lake. Last year it was pretty clean but the last few times I have been there the water quality was pretty horrible.

I wouldn't want to eat anything from the lake as it is atm.

Has anyone caught any carp recently?

Has anyone fished hazelwood pondage my dad was telling me that there were talks of introducing barra in there? I know there are cichlids but I'm intrigued by what else it could hold.

ive heard 400 to big lake and 150 to small lake
i was at lilydale for a few hours yesterday too, using a metal vibe lure and got nothing... saw plenty of activity though with trout rising out about 50m into the water... what rapala was did the rainbows get caught on?
