Waranga Basin is a Redfin Mecca which attracts anglers from far and wide. It has a well-established, self-sustaining population of Redfin which is popular with recfishers and during summer, the water often sees 100+ boats on the water chasing this highly prized table species.

The Goulburn Valley region has a diverse range of freshwater fishing opportunities in the region which are celebrated by fishers of all ages. Keen fishers can catch a cod or yella in the lower reaches of the Goulburn River in the morning, then drive a short distance to the Waranga Basin in the afternoon to catch a delicious feed of reddies for dinner.

Our snapper fishery is world-class and there are many things we can do as recfishers to keep it that way including helping released snapper survive.

Tips to assist in the survival of released snapper:
~ Fish shallow water to avoid barotrauma
~ Leave snapper in the water for release
~ Minimise handling and netting
~ Use circle hooks or lures
~ Release snapper quickly

📸 @purple5ive_captures reeled in this brilliant snapper while fishing in Port Phillip Bay over the weekend 🔥

New boat ramps are open at Upper Coliban and Barke

New boat ramps are open at Upper Coliban and Barkers Creek reservoirs allowing better on-water access for recfishers in central Victoria.

Improved on-water access to these reservoirs is a huge win for recfishers as the new boat ramps will make getting on the water much easier for small vessels - only canoes, kayaks and small boats with electric motors are permitted on the reservoirs.

The new ramps have opened just in time for Murray Cod season. @fisheriesvic even stocked golden tagged fish in both reservoirs to celebrate - giving fishers the chance to win up to $10,000.

Recfishers can catch a range of freshwater species in the reservoirs - with Murray Cod, golden perch and trout regularly stocked.

It's a great time to head to central Victoria for a fishing trip, not only is there improved access to these great reservoirs, you also have the chance to reel in a winning fish while supporting regional communities!
