Lake Eildon is situated in the north east of Victoria and is one of the largest inland lakes. It holds 2,290,000 megalitres of water, which is 6 times more than the Sydney Harbour. With over 500 kilometers of shoreline & sheltered bays, there are countless places to throw in a line. The region is an anglers paradise, with both lake Eildon and its surrounding rivers – The Goulburn (access to the river is excellent with numerous bridge points & parallel road access), Rubicon, Acheron & Stevenson containing an abundance of Brown & Rainbow trout, Redfin, Murray Cod & Golden Perch.
