anothe exerpt,
PERSONALLY SPEAKING... Personally speaking, the Patterson Lakes is my favourite local waterway, simply because it is the best bream fishery located close to me. I normally head down to the Lakes after school on Friday afternoons or early on weekend mornings. Increasingly I have been arriving at my favourite land based spot around midday on Sundays, with reasonable result. I have only not caught a fish once; now that is pretty good results! The Patterson River complex is a favourite spot of mine for another reason, because it has provided me with my best bream to date. This fish weighed around 2 pounds. Not bad for only my first trip there! I used fresh a fresh mussel, in conjunction with a berley comprising of breadcrumbs and tuna oil. This fish was taken at about 8:00am, and fought hard for approximately 15 minutes, Absolute chaos was caused when I realised my drag was not properly set; luckily I did not have my reel handle lock on!

yeah mate that is mark bolgers article. i personally speak to him and his mate lives on the lakes so thats how he fishes it. you can't just walk in on private property and fish (ie: vacant blocks).
Cheers _______ Chris |

Don't get rude Chris.
The question is "Is Patterson Lakes a private fishing area. Meaning not open to the public. Because if you reckon that it isn't open to the public I suggest that you contact Fish Victoria and get them to revise there publications that they publish on Patterson Lakes. Because they say that it is open to the public

all that was written by fish victoria was that a bloke used to go fishing there after school and it was his favourite bream location. but he had someone he knew who let him fish the lakes from their house/ and he ventured out from there. thats all i am saying.
Cheers _______ Chris |

the only way would be by boat, i guess. there is no otherway. plus the patterson river is also a good option because it contains the same fish and is easily accessible.

I personally wouldn't fish in a man made canal if you paid me to.
I've been to the lakes and there definately not for me, way, way to damn artificial. The river thats pretty nice water to fish. But the man made stuff sucks even though there is a few fish in there. On hot days there is a definate bad odour that comes out of the man made lakes that is a real turn off, I wouldn't eat any fish out of them. The few fish that I have cleaned from them have been really soft and mushy. And don't let anyone tell you that its "private" thats a lot of bulldust, its public waterways and anyone can fish those waters but the question remains "why would you want to". |

There is some really beautiful houses around the Lakes and I'd rather live there than in Melbournes suburbs, but for fishing give me the river any day!!!
The Lakes don't get enough of a flushing to stay clean which is a real shame they should open it up a bit and try to get more of an exchange of fresh water in them. But they do smell on really hot days |
