Stockton Lake in Collie - worth bringing a rod?
Submitted by Grumpysmurf on Thu, 2013-08-01 11:53
Thinking of spending some time camping on Lake Stockton in Collie. Will be bringing the boat and ski biscuits.
As it is an artificial lake and ex coal mine site, it is apparently acidic. Is it worth bringing a fishing rod along? What living thing may be in there that doesn't have 3 eyes?

As above, definately no fish
As above, definately no fish at Stockton.
If you want to fish and also ski/biscuit/camp etc better off heading to Glen Mervyn, right hand turn after the Holden Dealership and follow it out. Plenty of Redfin/Trout out there.
