Best Tide State to Fish Progress Jetty (Paynesville)
Lake Victoria is relatively easy water, but the lakes respond quickly to wind; strong south-westerlies and easterlies chop the water up. The Raymond Island channel in front of the jetty concentrates what water movement there is — wind more than tide this far from the entrance — which helps the bite. Heavy rain in the catchment discolours the lakes, and summer can bring algal blooms in some years.
