19.01.2022 Nelson Weekend. Our annual Nelson trip with our friends from the Camperdown Angling Club was once again a great success. 18 anglers from across both clubs fished the Glenelg River with 28 fish being weighed in and many more released to fight another day. 15 bream and 13 estuary perch were weighed in, with the heaviest bream and estuary perch award being taken out by Stephen Hill. The second heaviest bream award was won by Bob Webber and second heaviest estuary perch award was won by Roger Tolland. Stephen Hill and Russell Pickett also took out the teams event at the ANSA competition held over the weekend. Congratulations boys.

17.01.2022 SWDAAC - 1st LEG CLARK SHIELD: CURDIES RIVER Nov.10th, 2019 The South West District Association of Angling Clubs' 1st leg of the Clark Shield was held at the Curdies river today. Five member angling clubs were represented: Allansford, Koroit, Lake Purrumbete, Lismore & Warrnambool District. 33 adults and 3 juniors participated in the competition. 43 bream were captured weighing a total of 23.181 Kg. The heaviest bream: 883 g was caught by Allansford AC member Rob Cook. Rob al...so weighed in the heaviest bag of 5 bream: 3.366 Kg. Congratulations Allansford AC and Rob Cook, well done. The ladies' heaviest bream: 555 g was caught by Wendy Pemberton and the juniors' heaviest bream: 850 g was caught by Jett Fleming. Both Wendy and Jett are also members of the Allansford AC, well done to you both. The 2nd leg of the Clark Shield will be held at the Hopkins river on Feb. 9th, 2020. Heavy rainfall this week resulted in flooding at the Curdie Vale boat ramp today (see photo below), many competitors chose instead to use the alternative boat ramp at Peterborough.

15.01.2022 Just in time for the school holidays. Bring the kids down to Lake Purrumbete over Christmas and catch yourself a feed of tasty Redfin.

15.01.2022 Rainbow trout stocking - Aug. 3rd, 2020 10,000 rainbow trout from the Snobs Creek hatchery were delivered by the Victorian Fisheries Authority to Lake Purrumbete last Monday afternoon. Club members from the Lake Purrumbete Angling Club transferred and released these fish into the lake. We were informed these fish were yearlings and measured 15 cm in length, see picture below.

15.01.2022 Move over Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic, because for the first time EVER today we stocked tiger trout into a Victorian waterway - 1300 into Lake Purrumbete, near... Camperdown! Tiger trout are a cross between a male brook trout and a female brown trout. They boast attractive colourations and are considered a very good sportfish overseas. Today’s tiger trout averaged 250 grams each and are expected to grow fast given their aggressive nature and abundant baitfish population in the lake. These fish join a suite of other stocked species in Purrumbete including Cheetah trout. They were first stocked last year (2450) and will again be stocked this season (1500). Cheetah trout are a cross between a male brook trout and a female rainbow trout. The combination of self-sustaining redfin and stocked rainbow trout, brown trout, Chinook salmon, cheetah trout and now tiger trout makes Lake Purrumbete a unique fishery nationally. No other lake in the country boasts such a diverse array of freshwater targets! #fishinglicencefeesatwork #tigertrout #LakePurrumbete #target1million #tigerking

13.01.2022 Due to the ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic, the committee of the Lake Purrumbete Angling Club has made the decision to postpone club events including general meetings and fishing competitions until further notice.

13.01.2022 20,000 Chinook Salmon fingerlings were stocked into Lake Purrumbete this afternoon.

10.01.2022 Thanks to a $58,000 government investment, the detailed design work on a new boat ramp at South Beach, Lake Bullen Merri is now underway. Why is it taking s...o long we hear you say? Well, to make sure we replace the current boat ramp with a long-term, sustainable solution, we've needed to understand what is causing deterioration at the existing ramp. So, over the last six-months, studies have been done to analyse the impacts of wind driven waves, local underwater processes, lakebed profile and the effects of a receding lake level on the boat ramp. These studies have shown that specific features such as groynes will need to be incorporated as part of the detailed design to reduce the need for ongoing maintenance and further ramp deterioration in the future. Detailed design and construction drawings will be developed over the next 12-14 weeks to present as tender documentation to a contractor to construct the ramp.

09.01.2022 Here’s looking at you, kid! Check out these healthy Chinook salmon ‘eyed ova’ at our Snobs Creek hatchery, near Eildon. Very brightly coloured eggs with clear... black eyes indicate they’re developing well and will likely hatch in a week. Stay tuned! We’re looking forward to stocking these beauties before year’s end into Victoria’s premier crater lake fisheries, lakes Purrumbete and Bullen Merri. You can see how many we’ve stocked in previous years on our fish stocking database here: https://vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/fish-stocking/db #fishinglicencefeesatwork #snobscreekhatchery #fishforthefuture
