Lake Cullulleraine, Victoria: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Lake Cullulleraine is listed under Mildura, Victoria. This is dry open country country. At some 1.69 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day. Shoreline length is close to 8.9 km, and each section fishes a little differently. Ground here is low by Victoria standards. Wentworth sits 34 km from the bank. Adelaide sits 284 km out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Lake Cullulleraine

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover golden perch, Murray cod and common carp. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Lake Cullulleraine the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 25°C in January and bottoms out near 10°C in July. The water stays warm and open throughout. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. The wet months move levels about, which shifts the fishing with them. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lake Cullulleraine.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. You can launch from a ramp around 360 m away. A pier or jetty stands 610 m away, which helps on a crowded bank. A camping area sits within 1.2 km of here. Picnic facilities are recorded some 1.1 km out. There is a toilet block some 1.1 km out. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Theoga Lagoon sits 33 km off and takes the overflow.
