Lake Mulwala HOT Fishing Tips and Locations

 

Planning on a trip to Lake Mulwala?.....click here for some great information on how to fish the lake, where the hot spots are and what techniques to use. Who knows, you just might get on to that fish of a lifetime.


The Gold Magnum from Bridgewater lures is a choice spinnerbait when fishing Lake Mulwala. The large magnum blade gives off a great thump in the water and works very well at the slowest of retrieves to ripping them through the woods. This is a very solid and successful spinnerbait & if cast long & slow it stays deep, right in the strike zone for longer. This means higher rate of hook-ups and it will handle big Murray Cod.


FEATURE ARTICLE TIMBER LAKE, VICTORIA FEATURE ARTICLE
A private experience
Sitting on top of Victoria's Otway ranges, 164m above sea level and around an unbelievable 4.5hrs drive south of the mighty Murray river there is a water impoundment that is nothing short of being paradise or even Mecca for the catch & release Murray Cod angler. Timber Lake is a couple of kilometres west of Forest and is a private fishery that is run by Mike Wallis from Clearwater Tours. Read more

The MURRAY COD (Maccullochella Peelii Peelii)

 
The Murray Cod is the largest freshwater fish in Australia that has been recorded to grow up to 183cm long and weigh 113kg. (6ft long & 250lbs in weight)

It is the most prized of fish in the south eastern parts of Australia but unfortunately due to its popularity and changes to its environment since European settlement it has become listed on the endangered species list. Large fish are harder to come by in this day and age and its through this website and others like it that we can educate its visitors to the benefits of the catch & release methodology and better handling techniques to enhance its chance of sustainability. Closed season is September till the end of November each year.

For more information go to the

Murray Cod page

 

THE MURRAY COD

TOO GOOD TO ONLY CATCH ONCE

The TROUT COD
(Maccullochella macquariensis)

The Trout Cod is fully protected under law in Victoria & New South Wales, Australia. It is commonly found in the Murray River between Yarrawonga and the Barmah Forest and also in The Seven Creeks area near Euroa, Victoria. These are the two only known areas the Trout Cod have been known to breed. Fishing is prohibited all year round in the Seven Creeks area and also a small section of the Murray River from the Yarrawonga weir to Cobram is closed to all fishing throughout the Spring season. The Trout Cod is often mistaken for a Murray Cod and many uneducated anglers have at times taken them thinking they are Murray Cod. The penalties for keeping Trout Cod are severe so if you are fishing in waters where Trout Cod have been known to be present get yourself educated on the difference between the two species and release them in the best possible condition to ensure their survival.
