Fishing Overview for Lake Eppalock
Central Victoria’s flagship impoundment near Bendigo, Lake Eppalock is renowned for Murray cod, golden perch (yellowbelly), redfin, and the occasional silver perch. Trollers and bait anglers work rocky points and timbered arms in the warmer months for yellowbelly and cod, while autumn–winter sees quality redfin schooled over deeper flats. Shore-based anglers target inflowing channels and the spillway arm, and boating access opens up expansive structure compared with smaller waters around

Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.
