Lake Anderson Fishing in Indigo, Victoria

• Overview

  Lake Anderson sits within Indigo in Victoria. Height above sea level is 206 metres. At 3 hectares it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Chiltern is the closest town at 0.4 km. Rutherglen is 17 km away, with Howlong at 19 km. Close by you have: Cooks Lagoon lies 22 km on, Lake Moodemere about 23 km, Horseshoe Lagoon lies 26 km on, Croppers Lagoon about 29 km and Lake Hume lies 40 km on. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Anderson

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Nearby survey and observation records mention perch, brown trout, common carp and tench. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Lake Anderson that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between July at about 8°C and February at about 23°C, the water has a wide range to work through. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. Winter is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time to be out. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lake Anderson.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Parking is close: a car park sits 300 m from the bank. Facilities run to toilets 190 m from the water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Cooks Lagoon at 22 km is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Lake Anderson as something to verify.
