Lake Purrumbete

Lake Purrumbete is a fishery driven by subsurface food sources such as baitfish, fry, damsel nymphs and mudeyes. As a result, there are not many dry fly fishing opportunities, and the most productive way to fish is with streamers, wet flies and nymphs. The fishing here is good throughout the whole year, and the rewards are in the quality of the fish rather than the numbers. Spring and Autumn generally provides the best fishing, however winter is still good, and over summer the periods of low light see some big fish moving shallow to feed. Targeting the weed edges/pockets, points and rocky shores are the best areas to find actively feeding fish.
