• Where to Fish on Lysterfield Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include shortfin eel, goldfish, common carp and perch. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. The near bank of Lysterfield Lake is often the one people ignore.
