Mount Emu creek

May 18, 2016 by Stephen Mueller

 

Mount Emu creek is a substantial piece of water that drains a large area north of Camperdown in western Victoria and empties into the Hopkins river above the Hopkins falls near Warrnambool. talking to people in the area about the creek the word is that Blackfish were present some time ago but nobody has heard of any recent catches if anybody has any information about the fish in the creek please let me know, this creek is accessible to fishers at varies points along the length of the creek and should have river blackfish in it why does it not. As you can see by the debris on the bridge pylons this creek can flood DSCF0777.JPG

DSCF0774.JPGWe had just over sixty mils of rain in the last rain event and it has partly filled  pond no 4/ ponds two and three are about half full just behind pond four. You can just see a hint of new grass emerging it will hold the ground together during winter rains.

[wpvideo XfA23Or1]these are the middle fish in size.

The water temp is around 12 degrees which is not bad however I am expecting it to drop down to single figures soon.All good so far, I have been promised a visit by fisheries not sure when, they need to hurry in the spring these fish will have to go.

GRUBS

May 9, 2016 by Stephen Mueller

DSCF0768DSCF0767Above top is a casing that this grub leaves behind when it hatches, today I found one that is just about to hatch into a moth, I feed the moths to the fish they should be full of nutrients and fats which is ideal for the fish coming into the lean time of the year.

Worms

May 8, 2016 by Stephen Mueller

DSCF0764.JPGWhen we have heavy rain like we are having at the moment the worms come out of the dirt and onto the track trying to find an escape from the water the fish will love these and I don’t have to dig.
