Would have easily caught over 20 if I spent more time fishing instead of looking around the town (fist time here), beautiful place with great fishing. The 44cm salmon was a surpise because most people were getting the 15cm-20cm ones which were the average school-sized salmon. There was one other bloke who got one same size as mine, otherwise it was just regular school salmon and a lot of them were being caught, everyone was getting them. |

Fantastic day fishing with a catch typical to the Barwon River. The secret to our success was to constantly vary the size of out baits and to use only one rod so you can feel the bites. |

Tried up the river for no sucsess. Went to the bridge where there was only one other group of people. My brother got the 2 undersize fish and I got the size flatty. Half the time you won't notice if you have a fish or not because of all the cars, so check bait regularly here. Photos were taken, but not good enough to send in. |
