Fishing Lake Alexander in Moyne, Victoria

• Overview

  Moyne, Victoria, is where Lake Alexander sits. The bank is 214 metres above sea level. The water covers some 29 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. A shoreline of some 2.2 km keeps the choices simple. Our Moyne list holds plenty of bigger water. For supplies, Mortlake is 34 km out. Further out sit Terang (52 km) and Ararat (56 km). The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Alexander

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish Lake Alexander where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep. Note where you had the first touch and work back over it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 19°C for February and 8°C for July. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lake Alexander.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Whites Lake is 2.9 km distant.
