Thanks.
These are examples of half day or day trips.
The St George's River in the Otway Ranges. It flows into Bass Strait (between the mainland and Tasmania) and is fairly typical of the region. The fish are not big- but its little bit of paradise.
Some stretches get quite low. The tree ferns are typical of the region.
The Cumberland River is a hop step and a jump from the St Georges. Impossible on the weekends with all campers.
The Lerderderg River holds some nice wild browns.
Upper Stoney Creek Reservoir. Windy day- often the best day time fishing here, particularly if the margins are muddy.
There is much more of course if you venture east by northeast. There are some very fine rivers in the Great Dividing Range and some very large trout. Not a day trip really. If you want a more native flavour and really big fish, then Murray Cod are the go. I haven't ventured into that yet, but have a mind to sometime.
I have a Tassie trip coming up with plans to venture into the west and fish an early teenage location, when my dad worked on the mines. I'll post some images, if all goes to plan.
