• Where to Fish on Lake Howitt

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Lake Howitt responds to conditions more than to tactics. Wind decides which bank is worth your time on the day.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 31°C, the coldest about 13°C. Heat, not cold, decides when to be on the water. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. Lake Howitt runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lake Piacoonanie at 21 km is the sensible second choice. For Lake Howitt in particular, ask before you travel.
