• Where to Fish on Yarra Yarra Lakes

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Work Yarra Yarra Lakes in sections rather than trying to cover it. Snags are worth the risk if you fish them carefully.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical February readings run about 27°C; by July the average is down near 13°C. Cold never becomes a factor on this one. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. Early spring brings the water on quickly here. The season on Yarra Yarra Lakes follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Pinjarrega Lake is 47 km off. Rules at Yarra Yarra Lakes are worth checking on the day.
