Fishing
Lake
Tyers and The Gippsland Lakes offer a wide range
of fishing
experiences. From the exhiliration of crossing the bar at the
Entrance and heading out to the open sea, throuigh to relaxing in a secluded
spot in the upper reaches of the Toorloo Arm in Lake Tyers. In between
there is fishing from a tinny to cruising in the yatch. The
majority
are probably people who are casuals, and fish from the bank, or are
the small boat owners who energetically ply the waters of the Lake.
Whatever
your preference is you will be sure to find an access
point and style
to try your hand at, whether going for the big one or just the elusive
one, or the
one type you are yet to catch. Here is a quick photo montage of the
different styles used locally. Just remember though, before
you
rush out and buy the $1000 surf rig, talk to the locals and tune in to
what is the best way to go. If you believe in local sayings try -
