Derek 'Paffoh' Steele has returned from a holiday break down south, spending some quality time kayak fishing around one of my own old stomping grounds - Lake Eildon. Sound's like it's fishing reasonably well to, which is nice to hear. He's written a full report that can be read at Kayak Fishing Adventures. Here's a snippet:

These lures cast like a dream so covering ground was easy, no need to troll when 50m casts in every direction are possible. Holding stationary near the trees we plugged away, depth was gauged by amount of weed upon the lures return. The Trout were exactly where we found them prior to moving, schooling hard and averaging around 30cm. At one stage it was a Trout a cast for five or more consecutives, even smacking lazy lures returned almost plumb to the top guide. I waged a war on pests this day, with Trout barely outnumbering the Europeans (5 Carp to 7 Rainbow Trout). It took a lot of casting and gusto to out fish Claire (4 Carp to 4 Rainbow Trout), the Outfitter’s front really contains the proverbial ‘Hot seat’.
