🐟❤️ Love is in the water for Murray cod!

As spring arrives, Murray cod are turning their attention to spawning, pairing up and producing the next generation of this iconic native fish.

That's why the annual Murray cod closed season runs from 1 September to 30 November, giving cod a well-earned break while they breed and protect their young.

Still keen to chase a cod? Victoria has a range of year-round Murray cod fisheries where you can keep fishing throughout the closed season, including premier destination Lake Eildon, the growing cod hotspot Rocklands Reservoir, and stocked waters such as Lake Nillahcootie, Lake Eppalock, Cairn Curran Reservoir, Lake Lascelles and Ouyen Lake.

🎣 Plan your next trip and see the full list of year-round cod fisheries here: www.vfa.vic.gov.au/murraycod

What if your next yabby-catching session could help stock bait fridges across Victoria?

Starting today (1 September 2026), Victorians can apply for a permit to collect and sell freshwater yabbies as bait under a new two-year trial.

The trial is designed to improve supplies of freshwater yabbies for recreational fishers, and allows permit holders to sell yabbies to bait and tackle stores and recreational fishers throughout Victoria.

So if you're a keen yabbier who’d like to kick off a small business, or know a young person keen to earn some pocket money, this is your chance to get involved.

🦞 Catch freshwater yabbies for sale as bait
🦞 Supply tackle shops and local fishers
🦞 Under 18s can apply free of charge
