Noojee Weekend Day Trip: 26-November
This weekend's fishing trip is centred around the township of Noojee, concentrating on the Latrobe, Toorongo, Ada and Loch Rivers.
Noojee is approximately 2hrs from the club rooms, and we'll meet at the Noojee Pub (411 Mt Baw Baw Tourist Rd, Noojee VIC 3833) on Saturday 26th of November at 8:30am. Google maps link below:

The Latrobe is the main waterway in the region. The best fishing in the Latrobe is above Willow Grove with access points along the highway. The Toorongo is a tributary of the Latrobe and can be accessed by turning off the Mt Baw Baw tourist road (C426) and taking the Toorongo Valley Rd.
The Loch is another tributary to the Latrobe, and can be accessed from McCarthy Spur Road and points along the Loch Valley Rd.
The Ada enters the Latrobe near the area of Gentle Annie, before Noojee. Access is along the Ada River Rd.
The rivers generally hold good stocks of both browns and rainbows in the 20-35cm size range with the odd larger fish always a possibility. General attractor dries such as a Stimulator or Royal Wullf work well.
If it is windy, a Humpy, large Red Tag or Geehi Beetle can be a winner. A hopper pattern used as an indicator holding up a Copper John, Bead Head Pheasant Tail or Hare and Copper can be an effective set up. If you intend to fish later into the afternoon have a couple of PHDs and Elk Hair Caddis patterns in your box.
Anyone planning to go can let Pat Sheridan know by text or calling 0419 515 950, hope to see you there!
Kids Come & Try FIshing Day Cancelled
Kids come and try day postponed.
We made the difficult decision due to the weather forecast earlier in the week to postpone the Kids Come & Try Day this year. Please stay tuned for a new date in 2023.

We have had a tough time getting out on to the water lately with all the rain, but hopefully the rivers will get a good flush out and return to normal flows in the coming weeks.
Having said that it looks like some of our members have had some good catches in the lakes. I must shout out to Sheldon for organising the mid-week trips; these fishing days seem to be gathering a strong number of members.
We held our annual “Auction” night a few weeks back. Unfortunately the turnout was small but most of us walked out with some great “must have items” Thanks to Pats very persuasive sales pitch I walked away with a couple of storage boxes that took some explaining when I got home.
The committee is working on the up-and-coming Kids come and try day to be held on the 20 November. If you are available to attend and help it would be greatly appreciated. We will need helpers in the morning to help setup the marquee & BBQ and then help with baiting, guiding participants and cooking the BBQ. In the past it’s been a good fund raiser for us and hopefully this year will be no different. Mending Casts will also be attending to promote the excellent work they do and hopefully raise funds for their next retreat.
Once again thank you for supporting the club!
Stay safe
Alan Staton – President
