I find this kind of stuff really interesting.
Any member have pics of black fish. As'a kid, I fished the brindabellas with my dad. We caught some fish, all I remember was that dad called them "slipparies" no pics, they were fairly small fish, maybe the size of a just legal whiting, anyone know what they could have been? |

Yeah fresh water mountain streams, we were fishing for trout, used celtas, wonder woblers and bait fished with worms, grasshoppers and mudeyes. Very early memories, dad lost a huge brown trout, I had a platypus follow my celta to my feet, dad catching grass hoppers with a bug catcher, getting chased by a huge king brown! I must have been about 6 or 7 years old, in the 1970,s.

Noted for that glassy eye.
Appears distinctive to the black fish I have only ever caught them on worms regards John

Davent Not an expression that I am aware of in Tassie
Not sure what they call them in Vic. How far do they extend and what other river systems on the Mainland regards John

Pretty certain it was in the Jack Pollard's book on freshwater fishing (thick mid green edging on the cover)published by Hungerford.

Awesome John . . . a massive freshwater blackfish.
Only ever caught them in the old days when I still drowned worms. Very interested in targeting them on fly. MXB |
