• Where to Fish on Lake Aura Vale

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists brown trout, shortfin eel, rainbow trout, Australian bass and brook trout. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Anyone new to Lake Aura Vale should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  February runs about 19°C on average, July about 9°C. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. On Lake Aura Vale that shapes the whole year.
