Information
Penstock Lagoon was originally constructed in 1916, as water storage and intake for the now decommissioned Waddamana power station. Throughout its history, Penstock has been a fly fishing water of high repute.
Penstock Lagoon offers a variety of habitats, from weedy marshes to forested rocky shores. Angling is restricted for fly fishing only. It has much to offer anglers whether fished from the shore or a boat. Water levels are highest in spring.
