Trout fishing at Mt Buffalo

[@peterhipwell4632]

What a picturesque country we live in what beautiful fish excellent video

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Peter we certainly do live in a beautiful part of the world..

[@fredbloggs8362]

This is the most scenic place ever Robbie.

[@craigdargie6929]

Robbie's flying trout show. Beautiful area. Enjoyed the video, great stuff.

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks mate.

[@bobseater8861]

Loved this video. I am a nephew of the late Frank Garth, he was a Wang legend.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Bob. WOW That is amazing. I spend a lot of time at Frank Garth Reserve.

[@bobseater8861]

I know you fish the junction of the Ovens & King, the police go there too, in reference to one of your videos.

[@robbiefishing]

@@bobseater8861 haha That was a bit of a classic that video. Lovely people.

[@pluto1165]

I really enjoy your trout fishing videos.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate.

Hi Back in the late 60s, I caught my first ever trout from that stream. I'm a Brit but we lived in Australia for 5 years when I was a child. We stayed in the old lodge at the now defunct ski slope at Mt Buffalo. I think the lodge eventually burned down. An old boy also staying at the lodge showed us how to catch moths the night before and then use them to catch the little trout along the stretch you show. I became an avid fly Fisher for life. Thanks for the video. Also, I think the little pond at the car park adjacent to the ski slope is where the lodge used to be. Back in the day it was stacked with large trout. Probably no more!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Phil. I learned to ski at that lodge in the 1980s. It was called Tatra Inn back then. I remember the big deep pool with the big trout in it too. I can't see why it wouldn't still be there.

[@philipbodie9883]

@robbiefishing the pool was overlooked by the Lodge. The Old fellow we met at supper on the first night took my brother and me out on to the balcony, he reached up and caught a moth fussing around a light. He then said, 'watch this', and having lightly stunned the moth, let it drop onto the black pool below. The moth's efforts were highlighted by the light but in seconds, it was taken by a large trout. Steve and I looked at each other and that was it...we were fishermen.

[@moomoo9611]

With all the fires and ash that impacted our high country streams over recent years, how good is it to see such a solid recovery from both the streams and the fish. Pristine country up there and obviously there is a healthy balance between visitors and wilderness. Haven’t been up there for a couple of years, great vid, loved it. Thanks for sharing Love your work Healthy habits

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Moo Moo. It really is amazing how resilient fish are isn't it.

[@bruceleong9534]

How lucky are we to live in a country like Australia. Thanks for taking us out for a beautiful day in the high county Robbie.

[@joelvivian5581]

Wow what a spot, gods country. Is it a bird...is it a plane...nah it's a brown trout on its way to Geelong! What a retrieve! Just about took you out lol. I was snagged the other day and the leader snapped and the ball sinker ended up in the plums! Nearly put an end to my fishing trip

[@robbiefishing]

Hahaha sorry to laugh but that is hilarious. LOL

[@TheGreatoutdoorsAndGourmetVic]

Now THAT'S 'rock' fishing!

[@kevdimo6459]

Beautiful country and mountain stream Robbie. Nice session on the Browns and I’ve come to a conclusion that you will be happy with. A mountain Goat you are not 👍🏻

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha thanks mate.

[@FishingWithLardAlmighty]

So many bites! Never would have thought so many trout could live in such a little trickle of a creek. Looks like you had a blast.

[@RKJFishing]

That tiny one was the prettiest of them all I reckon! What a beautiful fish. You're getting pretty accurate with that fly rod mate! I don't think I could fish that creek even with lures lol. Loved the vid mate was great to see a new location, what a spectacular looking place

[@yardman111100]

Good video. l stayed nearby once a few years ago and wish l had have gone up there to were you were. Awesome scenery.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Sure is beautiful country yo there.

[@OVTraveller]

Ah, mate what a great video: takes me back many years and some wonderful memories of life in the Ovens and Kiewa valleys. It just doesn't get any better than that. Thanks!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Otto. Mt Buffalo never fails to be beautiful at any time of the year.

smoked fish fingers mate😁i have seen snow on that country when I was a young fella from WA have old photos thank you Robby for the memory champion.👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks for watching Pete. I have fond memories of skiing down those hills as a teenager. The ski tows are all decommissioned now which is really sad. There's still cross country skiing up there though.

Awesome work mate. I’m amazed how many fish were in there and how beautiful they were. Cheers

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Glen. It's a bloody beautiful place. Have you ever been up there? Even if you're not fishing, it's still an amazing place to visit.

[@stimpy6906]

Looked like a great time Robbie. That rod should be called the 2wt slingshot edition. Trout flying everywhere that day lol

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha thanks mate.

Jeez Robbie you have to be quick with those fish , top viewing again . Cheers mate.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate, and you're not wrong. They're like lightning some of them.

[@markwilkinson3048]

Fished the same creek about 5 years ago and had a fantastic day to. Also used my TFO 2wt.

[@robbiefishing]

haha Awesome. I think those rods were made for that creek. LOL

[@dylanfuller5224]

Such a beutiful place i plan on taking my dad out for a suprise fishing trip but i dont have a fly rod do you think normal rods with light gear still might work anyone ?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, they will work bit it is hard to work them in such small water.

[@mrploppy3299]

Hi Robbie! looked like so much fun! It also looked very rocky😂 good to see them coming up for the dry!

[@robbiefishing]

Haha thanks buddy. I need to lose some weight so that I can for between the ricks a bit easier. 😅

[@hgflies]

Another Great video mate! I’ve got 2/3 flies done to send to you, can’t wait for you to see them on a mail episode! Cheers mate

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. Sounds exciting. I think the climate at this fishing spot would be more love what you are use to in your beautiful part of the world.

[@jordy598]

Great sesh Robbie. Been watching you for a long time and love the constant content. I’m a mad keen river and channel fisherman from the golbourn valley. Just put in a few orders for some of the lures you always chuck around so Hopefully I’ll have as much luck as you on the cod, yellas and reddies🤞🏼 You’re living the dream mate, thanks for taking us all along with you. Tight lines 🤙🏼❤️

[@robbiefishing]

Thank you so much mate.

[@williamturner2947]

Great video once again!! Curious I dont know if you already have or not but I'd love to see a fly fishing video on how you sent up your fly rod and how you fly fish!! The last year or so I've really wanted to get into fly fishing but honestly have no idea where to start or even begin!!

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Will thanks for thebgresr suggestion mate. I can catch trout on a fly, but I'm not nearly an expert.

[@travisutrecht1542]

Love it, thanks Robbie.

Hey Robbie, loved this one, can you do some tips on fly fishing casting in those small streams

[@mickwatson2177]

That looks like an awesome day trip to do mate. Cheers 👍🤠

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Mick. It's such a beautiful place, and very popular for bushwalkers and rock climbers.

[@Chucky-b7v]

G’day Robbie, that is some hard fishing right there mate. First cast you caught a trout, pretty good 👍🏼. How many did you loose , they turned out to be hungry little fellas. Great work mate…

Did you sight or catch any little Galaxias up there Robbie?

[@robbiefishing]

No mate. I'm not sure that they were ever up there to be honest.

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much mate.

[@liamcampbell7038]

Hey Robbie is there a reason the trout are so small up in the mountains?

[@robbiefishing]

Hi Liam, my guess would be because of a few things: *Too many inna small spot and not enough food to share around. *Because it's such a small waterway *Not a lot of food for a large part of the year when it is cold. I'm not certain that is all correct but thats my guess.

[@damo.77]

Small water equals small fish, like when you put a goldfish in a small tank, will only grow to the size of their environment.

[@benmazzone2650]

Beautiful spot Robbie! Quick question mate, do you think the size of the stream contributes to the trout's growth? Secondly, the have to have parents, is there a part where that stream breaks into a big body of water? Would be good to see you up there again catching some 6-8 pounders 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, no it's all small up there mate. It flows down into a bigger video of water but the trout can't migrate upstream because of very large waterfalls. I think the size is due to the small waterway, lack of food in the cooler months and the fact that there are so many fish in there.

[@benmazzone2650]

@@robbiefishing it was a red hot bite that's for sure!

[@trevorbennetts1967]

Mate, good video to watch. You certainly weren't bored there. Plenty of catches and misses. Would the strike tiger 1" leech be effective up in those high streams ? Cheers 👍

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks Trevor. I reckon they would. Ironically, I did cast one in a different creek up there on the day and didn't do any good. I hooked a couple though so they were going after it. For what it's worth I didn't catch any on the fly in that creek wither. LOL
