Lake Grasmere
Description:
Contains rainbow and bronw trout averaging between 1 and 2

but as the shoreline is generally swampy fishing can be challenging
but productive.
Access: Turn
into a paddock marked with a Wildlife Refuge sign about 3
kilometres west of Lake Pearson on SH73. Drive down the track
and park at the lake edge.
