Fishing
There is reasonable fishing here all year round, in calm conditions it is common to see rising fish. The most consistent way to catch fish here is by covering water fishing streamers, wet flies or nymphs, even when there are trout rising. Over summer and the warmer months, dry fly fishing in the evenings can be productive as there are a wide range of insects the fish look to eat off the surface. Make sure you have a look at the recent stocking history of the ‘Lake Eildon Pondage’ on the Victorian Fisheries Authority webpage as the lake often fishes it’s best after a recent stocking.
Access
There is very good access to all of the water around the pondage thanks to a walking track along both sides, however room for a good back cast and areas to wade can be more difficult to find. If you can find a nice point or gradually sloping bank you will often find fish.
