Diamond Creek Fishing
Diamond Creek fishing is largely overlooked by locals when it comes to locals, let alone people from other areas of Melbourne.
While large sections are difficult to access and it is true that the creek can run to very low levels in Summer. In fact it has been known to run dry in parts during some droughts.
The larger pools do in fact often contain a variety of fish species.
While Eels are really common there are Carp, Tench and even the odd Trout and Redfin in the lower reaches towards Eltham.
What is missing, from personal observation, are the native smelt and galaxias. However wild (released by humans) goldfish are prevalent. As is the Japanese Weather Loach.
Diamond Creek Overview
Before proceeding I’d like to ask you to take special care to ensure the safety of native platypus populations.
Local groups have worked long and hard to clean up the creek and promote the welfare of these wonderful creatures.
So – don’t leave any broken fishing line on the banks or in the water. Take your rubbish and butts home with you.
Diamond Creeks Location
The Diamond Creek flows from the mountain ranges below Kinglake until it meets the Yarra River at Eltham.
It flows through the townships of Cottle’s Bridge Hurstbridge, Wattle Glen, Diamond Creek and Eltham.
Local history suggests the creek was named after a prized bull, named Diamond, that waded into the creek and became stuck.
The creek got its name after that.
