• Where to Fish on Lake Euramoo

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include barramundi, Australian longfinned eel, brown trout and mozambique tilapia. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Read Lake Euramoo for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Parking is at Euramoo Crater Parking, some 230 m off. Somewhere to sit and eat is 560 m out. Toilets show in mapping about 530 m away. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lake Tinaroo, 5.2 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Lake Euramoo locally before you travel.
