September: Fishing the flooded margins is great sport in
September. After the season opens on the 5th of September the
streams begin to clear. Brilliant stream fishing is tempered
with variable weather. River levels are moderated by controls by
the lake and early hatches appear as the water warms slightly.
The lake (Eildon) is rising rapidly and cruising fish can be
found on the edges over new ground. The Goulburn river still has
big spawners left over from winter. Best Flies; Woolly Buggers
and Red & Black Matukas. October: Frequent warm days
interspersed with Spring rain. Fish become voracious feeders to
restore their condition after winter. Lake Eildon fishes well as
the levels rise rapidly. The small streams such as the
Rubicon/Acheron begin to clear and fire up. Longer periods of
warmer sunny days bring hatches of Pale Morning Duns. Nymph
activity and increasing Mayfly hatches occur as snowmelt ceases
and water temperature rises. Best Flies; Adams and Black
Paradun. November: Hot weather for a few days a
