Reading the wind
Wind direction and strength can affect comfort, casting, and exposure around this location.
Wind gusts can be stronger than the average wind speed, so it's worth checking the gust forecast if you're planning to fish from an exposed location or need to know about potential changes in conditions.
Even modest wind can affect comfort and casting, especially where the water is exposed.
The marker shows the current wind direction, while the daily outlook below shows whether conditions are likely to build or ease over the coming days.

What are today's best fishing times at Blue Rock Lake?
Today's sunrise is 5:57 am and sunset is 8:01 pm. As a general guide, the hour before and after sunrise and sunset are often among the most productive fishing periods. No solunar period overlaps sunrise or sunset today, so the other listed bite times may provide better timing guidance.

Blue Rock Lake Fishing
Fishing Areas and Conditions
- Target Australian bass close to visible structure. On warm, calm evenings, listen for breaking water and try surface lures that imitate insects.
- Redfin and bass are more active in warmer months; trout are more active in colder months. Dawn and dusk are productive times for trout and redfin.
- Early spring mornings can suit trout fishing when snowmelt from Mount Baw Baw brings cooler water into the lake. Trout may be seen taking insects at the surface.
Rigs, Bait and Lures
- From the bank, long-casting metal lures, vibes and spoons help cover distant water. Spinners and brightly coloured diving lures can be cast and slowly retrieved or trolled.
- For bass, try small surface poppers, cicada imitations, surface minnows and pencil lures near structure. Lightly weighted 2.5-inch grubs and minnows also suit this approach; vary retrieve speed and pauses.
- For redfin, cast curl-tail, minnow or paddle-tail plastics on 1/8–1/20 oz jig heads toward visible structure. Retrieve slowly with lifts and pauses. Shallow-diving hardbody lures, blades and vibes are other options.
- A light 1–3 or 2–4 kg rod with a 2500 reel, 4–6 lb braid and a leader suits trout and redfin.
- From the bank, suspend mudeyes beneath a float for trout, or fish scrub worms, dough bait or yabbies on a light running sinker rig. Nymph flies can also be drifted for trout.
- For carp, fish corn, bread or maggots on a small running sinker rig, beneath a float or unweighted. One running rig uses about 8 lb main line, a small free-running sinker, a swivel, 50 cm of 8 lb fluorocarbon leader and a size 6 baitkeeper or size 10 long-shank hook.
Access and Hazards
- Boat ramps are at 125 Spillway Road, Willow Grove, and off Old Tanjil Road. Shelters and barbecues are nearby. A clearing near the dam wall provides easy kayak access.
- Boating restrictions changed in 2015 to allow broader access for boats, jet skis and kayaks. Check current access rules before launching.
- Submerged debris can affect small boats and jet skis. Snakes occur around the lake.
Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Blue Rock Lake, today?
No. Because a forecast cannot truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report derived species history.
Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. We hope you enjoy using Getfished to find your next great fishing spot!

Summer Fishing
Australian Bass, Carp, Rainbow Trout and Redfin can be targeted at the location during summer. Activity is strongest for these species during the warmer part of the year. Actual catches will vary according to temperature trends, localised weather and tides.
Autumn Fishing
Australian Bass, Carp, Rainbow Trout and Redfin are a good choice for anglers to target during autumn. With the water temperature dropping the location provides an opportunity to concentrate on these species.
Winter Fishing
Australian Bass, Rainbow Trout and Redfin are the species to focus on because Winter is when the water drops below 15c and this location is no different. Fish can be slower to bite with reduced activity levels. As always what you catch varies with the prevalent temperature trends, localised weather and of course tides.
Spring Fishing
Spring sees the water temperature begin to rise with Australian Bass, Brown Trout and Redfin becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Australian Bass, Carp, Rainbow Trout and Redfin begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.
