Mount Emu Creek

Mount Emu Creek, in Victoria, Australia, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Mount Emu Creek is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Tench

  Pre-baiting your swim with particles like hemp or corn can significantly improve your chances of attracting tench and holding them in your fishing area.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
