There use to be.......

A few years ago a friend and I use to flyfish it for the bigeye trevally and the herring. Well that was till the golf club up stream killed it

There use to be some cracker 50+cm jacks in there.

Some great photos floating around the net.

The day before the kill I just introduced a friend to flyfishing, That afternoon he tied his own fly, we walked down from his house and he nailed a bigeye within the first 20mins of fishing!

He was hooked!!

Next afternoon he walks down by himself to try again. I get a call to say the whole lake is a pool of dead fish!

Well i'll put a second opinion about myself taking up golf,what a tragedy of all those dead fish that had to die

for the sake of sheer negligence.

But i wonder if any fish managed to survive this terrible event and if the golf club admitted of their

sins

Golf club was fined $1m

Green keeper fired.

This was the second fishkill in the lagoon that I have heard of in about 15 years.

If some made the first maybe some survived the second.

No harm in trying!

Poddie mullet drifted over the snags around the edge of the lake should see if they are there or not.
