Ep 85 - Chris Muscat: Fishing the VIC Crater Lakes (Lake Purrumbete and Lake Bullen Merri)

Recently I headed down to the Crater Lakes in Southwest VIC to fish the famous Lake Purrumbete and Lake Bullen Merri. On this trip I was joined by SF team member Chris Muscat who writes the reports for this region.

At the start of this episode, we both share a recap of our trip and an overview of these two lakes. Chris then shares his fishing story before we talk about Chris favourite places to fish, his favourite techniques for Trout, go-to lures and his favourite setup.

If you’re keen to learn about chasing Trout in lakes or you’re looking to fish Lake Purrumbete or Lake Bullen Merri, this is the episode for you!
