LAKE MODEWARRE unfavourable to some aquatic life and are the most likely cause of the 2004–05 carp deaths in the lake. Lake Modewarre is situated 30 km south-west of Geelong. It is a relatively shallow crater lake: in 2005 The eel deaths may also have been related to drought, the lake was around two metres deep. However, it or to eel deaths seen in other waterways (see EPA has reportedly varied between being 11 metres deep Publication 1013, Eel Deaths in Victoria, 2004–05). and completely dry. Low water level at Lake Modewarre pier, August 2005 1 LAKE MODEWARRE WATER QUALITY 2004–05 Lake Modewarre has been home to a range of fish species and has been an important recreational fishery. It has been stocked with brown and rainbow trout since 1953. Since 1986 Lake Modewarre has been annually stocked with around 5,000 rainbow and 5,000 brown trout. DPI Fisheries Victoria report that the lake has had a history of marginal conditions and poor angling during drought periods.

  • A Review of Historic Western Victorian Lake Conditions in Relation to Fish Deaths
    A REVIEW OF HISTORIC WESTERN VICTORIAN LAKE CONDITIONS IN RELATION TO FISH DEATHS Publication 1108 March 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eel deaths occurred in waterways across Victoria from 2004 to 2006. EPA Victoria worked with responsible agencies to investigate the cause of the deaths. An information gap was identified regarding changes throughout the catchments over time. Much of this knowledge had not been documented formally and was difficult to assess. It is important to note that this report is based on a number of published accounts of the historical timeline as well as utilising personal accounts of history. Therefore there may be small discrepancies in exact dates. Anecdotal evidence and unpublished reports of the history of lakes Modewarre, Bolac and Colac indicate that, over the past 150 years, all lakes in the Western District have shown a distinct pattern of drying out during periods of extended drought. As early as 1846 the lakes showed signs of drying, which would indicate that any fish within those lakes also died due to lack of good quality water. The three lakes examined have been stocked by landholders, recreational anglers or commercial eel fishermen to hold the current stock of fish and eels. The catchments in which each lake sits have undergone changes, including culverts being developed to reduce flooding, the size of water storage reservoirs being increased and changes in agricultural practices. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS EPA would like to formally acknowledge the contribution of all those who assisted with the research into the Western District lakes. Much information was held in the minds of those who visit the lakes regularly for recreation, farming and lifestyle, and it is this that has provided such broad insight into one of Victoria’s precious resources.
