Carp, that's about it

[greeneyed]

People fish in the lakes, but they mostly seem to catch carp. They do stock LBG with other species though.

[Schifty]

Def don't eat anything you catch especially LBG.

Saw people swimming in Lake Ginninderra this arvo.. They may now have tentacles

[Ultra raider]

Yes.

Is Loch Ness a lake or a loch ?

There is a difference.

^^^^
That should be "is there" not "there is"

[greeneyed]

Scottish word for lake.

[T_R]

Scottish word for lake.

Technically, it can refer to any large body of water, including a bay, inlet or estuary.

[Dr Zaius]

If it rains heavy enough, LBG has brown sharks

[BJ]

Some amazing tropical fish in lake Tuggeranong.

Well they seem to have tropical "Blue Green colour" when caught near the algae.

It's not too bad mate, nothing worth eating unless you know my Chinese next door neighbours who can make carp taste truly awesome.

There's red and yellow belly in lake ginnandera and Gungahlin ponds, there's Murray cod in Gungahlin pond as well but don't tell anyone the secret.

Scrivener dam will produce good yellow belly.

Most people that do it have a little hobbi kayak setup with lures but off the bank with a bell will work, especially with powerbait.

Yeh I think so mate, wood grubs as well at Pratts in Belconnen.

They have a bit of attitude but if you can get past that they will steer you in the direction of some good spots

Haha, change would be unnacceptable at Pratts, they are cranky bastards but still the best in the business locally.

Ask them about powerbait, they love that stuff

[Ultra raider]

Ended up only getting Redfin but lots of them in the two lakes . Off to the game now hope the team plays well .

[Schifty]

best fishing in Canberra?

Just stay on the GH and mention another football code to GE.

Guaranteed catch every time.

[Begbie]

Ive seen a few dolphins in Lake George as I've been driving past. Apparently the best bait it tinned asparagus but they are an incredibly hard catch. Fantastic eating fish if you do manage to haul one though.

The fishing was better then the game today
