Lake Mulwala

Tucked into New South Wales, Australia, Lake Mulwala is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake Mulwala should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.
