Lake Victoria is 25km long and 2.5km wide, with an average depth over 5m.
It has very little tidal influence. Water flows through McLennans Strait if wind or rain changes the lakes’ levels.
Bream, garfish, mullet, luderick, trevally, tailor, flounder and flathead are the main species.
Loch Sport is the access point, reached from Sale or Rosedale on the Princes Hwy, then from Longford via Collier Hill from the South Gippsland Hwy.
There is a jetty and good boat ramp.
Holland’s Landing on the north side of McLennans Strait has a van park.
The 9km strait holds most species, including estuary perch.
Jones and Blond Bays are good bream areas.
Flathead and whiting are caught on the channel edges.
Flounder spearing is popular in both lakes.
