Question: are there fish in the yarra river?
Answer: The Yarra River provides almost all the best angling in the Basin; for river blackfish above Warburton, and for brown trout from Warburton to Launching Place. ... The Yarra River around Eltham is also a good area for beginners to learn to fish. Macquarie perch and Murray cod are readily caught in the Warrandyte area.
