Toolondo Reservoir, Toolondo
Surface area: 1,444 ha
Capacity: 106,500 Ml
Also called Barton Swamp. Constructed in 1953 and forms part of the
RWC's Wimmera-Mallee water supply system. Off-river storage filled
from RocIdands Reservoir. Surrounded by forest and grazing land, mud
and sand bottom. Extensive areas of private property around the lake
but accessible at the northern end where there is a boat ramp and
toilets. Camping facilities are available, including a privately
operated park on the eastern shore. Contains redfin to 2.6 kg,
average about 1 kg, brown trout to 3. 5 kg, average 1. 7 kg, rainbow
trout to 2 kg, average 1. 4 kg, and tench to 3 kg. This lake has
become very popular since the mid-1980's being a consistent producer
of good numbers of trout in good condition. Stocking of equal
numbers of brown trout and rainbow trout commenced in 1987, with the
rainbow trout adding a short-term fishery for the species in
spring-early summer each year. Stocking program amended for 1990/92
to mainly brown trout with a small number of rainbow trout. Some
concern in 1990 that quality of brown trout was
declining, with reduction in condition and average size of two and
three-year-old brown trout. Can be fished from bank but boat fishing
gives best results. Both redfin and trout fishing are very good most
of the year in the stands of dead trees in the eastern and southern
areas of the lake. Most fishing methods take fish, but mudeyes are
probably the best bait.
