Dam·Victoria·Australia·
Field notes
Shallow weedy lake in central Ballarat, stocked annually with brown and rainbow trout. Electric-motor only — no petrol outboards. Fly fishing on the edges at dawn and dusk is the classic approach.

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.
