Ah-ha, I never thought of any difference between jumping and "swirling" trout and always assumed if im seeing rings in the water to use a dry fly. Also never made the connection with the moon cycle. Beauty, next new moon is only a couple of weeks away. Hopefully i'll improve on my tally (1) of...

Gday Big Nugget, That makes two of us, I was on the summer crew at Marysville up until 4 years ago. Towns come back to life too mate. Ill give that a go with the breadcrumbs and maggots. Also on the shopping list is a little 6 1/2 foot 2wt fly rod for getting little dries amongst the sticks...

Yeah don't they. We see plenty of fish just cruising around while we are drifting and flicking a lure or fly (unfortunately they don't seem to like our lures or flies). Some look like young cod, so hopefully they grow up to eat 'em. Look a bit big for a yellowbelly to swallow. Could be wrong though.

Just did a search. No, not native, introduced 1860-1870. Poor table quality.

Thanks for your replies but yeah dunno guys, a bit fatter looking than both of those according to a google images search not that that is very accurate. However according to Wikipedia the river blackfish is strongly nocturnal which fits the description. Only thing missing is the dorsal fin that...

G'day all, I bought a new boat recently and have been enjoying a few fishing/camping trips in the Big River arm of Lake Eildon (Victoria) before it gets too snakey. Been camping in a little inlet and at night when shining a torch into the water my mate and I have seen a few fish that ive never...

Hi Walnliz- I was actually watching your youtube videos when you posted your reply. Gee, didn't that wet the appetite. Easter Saturday 2013 must have been real exciting. And the gold nugget thief, don't you see some amazing things out in the bush. Congrats, looks like you are living the dream :D...

P.S. Im also new to forums. Assuming if I follow the rules I cant go wrong.

Hi, my name is Doug and I currently live in Marysville, Victoria. Im a newbie and recently got the infectious gold bug after just handling a piece of the yellow stuff so decided to try and find my own. Sounds like fun, good for keeping fit and possibly rewarding. Last week I invested in a GPX...
