Victoria’s best place to catch a trophy trout
A productive eco system with good hatches of duns, mudeyes, snails and freshwater shrimp has given outstanding growth rates. The lake once held the world record for growth rates of 3-year-old rainbow trout, at a mammoth 11.3 kg.
The lake
John & Marina Clements
Owners John and Marina have put a lot of effort into catering for the keen angler and visitor alike. They run a small tackle and general store on site, stocked with fresh and frozen baits, and the park sits right on the foreshore at the lake’s southern end.
Lake Purrumbete is near Camperdown, a 2 hour drive from Melbourne, and is the sort of clear water freshwater destination where a trophy fish is always possible.
