Being a land-based location using berley is extremely important in order to bring the fish towards location and you.

Summer Fishing

Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, 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

Atlantic Salmon, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Redfin and Tiger Trout 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

Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Redfin and Tiger Trout 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 Atlantic Salmon, Australian Salmon, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Redfin becoming more active. Later in spring summer species such as Atlantic Salmon, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Redfin begin to move into the area and can become more common at the location.

Can Getfished tell if fish are biting at Lake Purrumbete, today?

No. Because no forecast can 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. Try different locations, different bait and lures. Remember to use berley and try to target a specific fish species in season.

Rigmate - Fishing gear

Lake Purrumbete

This product is one of my personal favourites. Rigmate is a versatile fishing rig DIY tool that lets you make your own rigs without tying complicated dropper knots. Saving time and frustration. Just spool off the number of loops you need and attach hooks and a sinker or berley cage. I usually allow an extra loop so I can just attach the whole rig to my snap swivel attached to my mainline.

The product is available in a range of line strengths from 5lb up to 1001lb. So it's great for a range of species, freshwater and saltwater. From paternoster rigs, running sinker and more.
