Fish And Fishers
Improvement in Eildon Sport
By TRACE
A welcome improvement is reported in the snort at Eildon Weir, which
for some weeks had been very disappointing. This will be welcomed by anglen
who have decided to fish that part of the Goulbum during tbe holidays.
A LTHOUGH comparatively light rain has
fallen in the past few days over the
Upper Goulbum system, it may help to
further Improve the Ashing higher up the
stream.
It will take a heavy downpour,
however, to materially
aflect the
deep
wat-r near the wall.
