The Kerang Lakes area is a great place to fish.
Fishing is a great relaxing social activity for family and friends and a perfect way to explore Kerang's Lakes and Wetlands. Get away and spend some time on the water exploring some of the best fishing spots in country Victoria.
Whether you dream of catching a trophy fish or you're just looking for a little water side relaxation, it's easy to get started fishing. |
All you need to start is a rod, reel, hook and sinker, some bait and a licence. Licences are available from the police, sporting goods shops and many convenience stores. If fishing is your idea of a relaxing weekend away, the Kerang Region has just what you have been looking for. The Kerang Lakes System consists of several major river systems flowing into the area including the Murray, Little Murray, Wakool, Niemur, Edward, Loddon and Avoca Rivers.

Fishing Safely
Whenever you go fishing, your personal safety should be your main consideration. The following tips should help make sure that each of your fishing trips is a safe one.
- Always fish with a partner, preferably an adult.
- Always let someone at home know where you are going fishing and approximately what time you will be back.
- Learn to swim. Fishing involves being on or near the water so it makes good sense to be able to swim.
- Take care with sharp knives and hooks.
- Avoid steep and unstable banks.
- Keep an eye out for snakes when you are near inland waterways.
- Be careful and sensible at all times.
