Lake Tyers Beach Local Fishing Map

Lake Tyers is an ancient river system that has been flooded. There are two arms, the shorter one is Toorloo Arm and branches towards the North West and the much longer Nowa Nowa Arm that branches towards the North East.

There is a large lake section where the two arms meet and sits behind the sandbar that is between it and the 90 Mile Beach. Depending on rainfall, hence lake level, and sea swells (influenced by king tides and storms) the sandbar is occasionally broken through.

Lake Tyers Beach is the town at the southern end and Nowa Nowa is the town at the northern end of the system.

When the traffic on the water of the roads are too much elsewhere this is the place to be.

You can always find a quiet spot out of the wind, just check the wind direction and go for it!

Simplest map of Lake Tyers

It has taken a while to refine this A4 map and well worth the $2.00 purchase price, or $4.00 for the laminated version.

If you want an A4 version of this map with the local names of the places then head to Lake Tyers General next to the Waterwheel Beach Tavern and pick the A4 version up for $2, or a laminated version A4 for $4. Slip it in the boat or the tackle box and you will know what the tips are talking about when they say "above Camerons #2", or "near Crystal Bay".

There are five boat ramps and numerous spots for bank fishing, as well as the surf across the other side of the sand bar. Many have picnic tables and a few have toilets. The picnic tables are indicated on the map.

The openings of the lake to the sea that occur every few years replenishes stocks of some fish varieties, such as Tailor and Snapper, and freshens up the brackish waters for the permanent stocks of Bream, Luderick, Garfish and Flathead (NB the slot size: less than 30cm, bigger than 55cm, then you put it back, carefully!).

Many of the roads are "family sedan" friendly though even slightly unpleasant weather will make them difficult to drive, so be careful and don't take unnecessary risks while exploring the area in either a land vehicle or a boat. The lake conditions especially at the wide southern end can be extremely choppy and a real challenge to any small tinnies.

Be on your guard as conditions change quickly.
