Lonsdale Lake, Stawell
Surface area: 2,630 ha
Capacity: 65,500 Ml
Catchment area: 1,041 km2
Surrounded by forest and cleared land. Forms part of the RWC
Wimmera-Mallee water supply system. Subject to fluctuations in water
level. A shallow lake subject to high evaporation rates and water
temperatures during summer, it is usually the first irrigation
system storage to be drawn down. Camping facilities (unpowered) at
the outlet. Boat launching on sand bar on the north-eastern side of
the lake. Road runs close to the northern and western shores of the
lake. Trout stocking prior to the 1967 drought produced very good
results, but subsequent stocking in 1979 and 1981 combined with
fluctuating water level produced very poor results. Trial resumption
of trout stocking scheduled in 1990, was cancelled due to draw-down
of lake to very low level. Trout spawn in the Mt William Creek which
flows into Lake Lonsdale. Carries redfin to 1. 5 kg, occasional
trout to 2. 2 kg. Tench and goldfish are also present.
