Laanecoorie Reservoir

Hello all,

The family and I are thinking of trying Laanecoorie Reservoir over Melbourne Cup weekend. I can't find many old reports on here. Does anyone fish here? Any info would be great.

Geez! Its been a while, we used to fish there a bit when I was a kid. I remember catching redfin a fish a cast next to the reservoir wall, on worms, but we we're kids so we didn't mind catching a billion tiny ones. There are some big carp in there as well and I've seen people pull up after trolling with trout in the boat as well.

I reckon the biggest redfin we would have pulled out of there as kids would have been around the 20cm mark, but there were alot around that size and smaller (But i'm talking 15-18years ago, so who knows what goes on there now).

I fished it a couple of years ago after the floods had filled the reservoir, but carp was all I could catch.Must be reddies, yella belly and silver bream from Cairn Curran in there now.fished the loddon at Laanecoorietownship on Anzac Day for a couple carp.Others have caught yella belly and cod here.nice camping spot just below the bridge , toilet block and boat ramp there also.

The river looks ok from that photo. I've read about the camping reserve. Will head up for a look closer to November when the temperature rises a bit.

Thanks for the replies guys.
