Features:
The opening of Lake Tyers is always followed many people. However when it is closed for a while and the water high, then some consideration must be given to an artificial opening. This Community meeting will help explain the objectives and protocols involved in deciding such an artificial opening.

Fishing
Lake
Tyers and The Gippsland Lakes offer a wide range of fishing
experiences. From the exhilaration of crossing the bar at the
Entrance and heading out to the open sea, through to relaxing in a
secluded spot in the upper reaches of the Toorloo Arm in Lake Tyers.
In between there is fishing ranging from a tinny to cruising in the
yacht. The majority are probably people who are either casuals, and
fish from the bank, or the small boat owners who energetically ply the
waters of the Lake. Don't forget Flathead now has lower limit 30cm and
upper limit 55cm with bag of 5 max staying the same. Click here for the current sign
for Flathead catches.
Whatever your preference is you will be sure to find an access point and style to try your hand at, whether going for the big one or just the elusive one, or the one type you are yet to catch. Here is a quick photo montage of the different styles used locally. Just remember though, before you rush out and buy the $1000 surf rig, talk to the locals and tune in to what is the best way to go. If you believe in local sayings try - Wind from the East, or No Fuss Gus's fishing tips may suit you better. A local's comment recently heard, the "The Flatties begin to bite when the Ti-Tree comes out" - what do you reckon?
