Albert Park Lake
A large shallow lake well situated for urban angling in terms of
access. Fish management objective is to provide a "put-and-take"
fishery with suitable introduced or native fish once water quality
has been improved. Stocking in the early 1980's with two-year-old
Chinook salmon and trout proved highly successful, although there
was some conflict between angling and other recreational uses. The
lake was dredged in 1993 and weed removed. Contains yabbies, redfin, roach, and abundant carp, some to 6 kg. These
species will undoubtedly re-establish when the lake restoration
project has been completed. Stocking with appropriate angling
species will then be investigated.
A report in "The Age" dated Dec 2010 shows the lake to be doing
well and stocked with carp up to 10 kilograms, large trout,
yellowbelly, and silver perch.
