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 - Wind from the East, or Ian Page's fishing tips may suit you better..
