Lake Echo
Dam·Tasmania·Australia·
Field notes
Large hydro storage in the central highlands west of Bronte. Brown trout dominate with rainbows through stocking; drop-offs along the original river channel hold better fish. Inland licence required and weather here turns fast at altitude.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
