Fishing near Dargo (Wonangatta, crooked etc)

Gday all,

I'm looking at heading up to Dargo to relax for a few days and maybe
do a bit of fishing. Before I head off, I was wondering what the
conditions are like this time of year.

Has anyone been there recently? Last I went (just before Christmas)
the lower Dargo river was the colour of chocolate (as was the
wonangatta), but there was a hell of a lot of water, but no fish.

Cheers,
Rob

Hiya Gully! Remember me?

I fished the Wonnagatta at Easter and got 2 eels. Mate has a property
with frontage, but bugger all fish in it. Shooting's good fun tho..

Thats sounds more like it.. I was up there in late Jan, and the
temp in the shade hit 43, 2 days running. Bugger all water tho...
You could walk across the 'gatta, and same at Easter. Not now tho.
They had a LOT of rain last weekend, so yeah, it'll be moving mud
at the mo. Best to wait till the snow melts..

Cheers,
Rob

And to you...

Thanks for the Reply Lindsay,

Gully? Are you sure you've got the right Robert? Hmm..maybe jog my
memory!

I ended up heading up to Dargo on the weekend just passed, more out of
curiousity then anything else.

I haven't seen rain like that in ages. Both the Wonangatta and Dargo
were higher in level, and quite cold, but nothing near their high
mark.

Where abouts do you go shooting in Dargo? On your mate's place, or do
you know somewhere else where there are a few rabbits/foxes? (I had
trouble finding a place that wasn't private property or hilly/scrubby
as hell).

Anyway, thanks for the reply and take it easy.

Cheers
Rob

Hehe Looks like I've got the wrong Robert Varga !! Sorry 'bout that.

Yeah.. my mate was up there this weekend picking his walnuts, Gee it
would have been cold...

Yep... there's a couple of bunnies there, but it's the dogs I'm after..

Thats true.. there isnt any.. where it's cleared, it's owned. Your
best bet (if your 4wd'ing) is try some of the tracks at night..


Anyway, thanks for the reply and take it easy.

And to you!!
