Laanecoorie Reservoir

Laanecoorie reservoir is formed by a weir on the Loddon River about 35 km South West of Bendigo. Its used to control flows in the Loddon River downstream of Cairn Curran and Tullaroop Reservoirs. Its full like most dams after very decent rains over the last year or two including recent flooding. Its not all that big but has a decent cement boat ramp. Fishing according to one local I spoke to is OK with Red Fin and Carp with the occasional Yellow Belly if your very lucky. Bests baits here is yabby or freshwater shrimp. I had a few casts with plastic lures but did not do any good. Below is the road on the way there and is typical of a minor road off the main highway in Victoria.
