Lake Coradgill Fishing in Corangamite, Victoria

• Overview

  Lake Coradgill is set in Corangamite, Victoria. The surface lies 120 metres up. The water covers some 82 hectares, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Corangamite. Head to Camperdown, 23 km away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Colac at 32 km and Cobden at 35 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lake Coradgill

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records collected within a few miles name Chinook salmon, rainbow trout and shortfin eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Lake Coradgill fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give February about 19°C and July about 9°C. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. Lake Coradgill fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lake Bulkil Narra is 2.3 km distant. Confirm access to Lake Coradgill locally before you travel.
