Lake George

Set in New South Wales, Australia, Lake George is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Lake George usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

• For Murray cod

  Target structure like fallen trees, rocky outcrops, and undercut banks, as Murray cod are ambush predators.

• For Surf bream

  Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth when targeting surf bream, as they are often line shy in clear water.

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
