LAKE Fyans is located near Stawell at the foot of Victoria's Grampians National Park. It is a man-made lake that is stocked with brown and rainbow trout and has a good population of redfin.
It has good stands of drowned timber and at certain times of the year can be choked with weed making fishing a little difficult.

There is a caravan park located on its shore with a good boat ramp that can be out of the water during periods of low water levels. Another unofficial dirt boat ramp is located on the southern side of the lake close to the wall.
Bank fishing is best along the dam wall and is safe enough or families. Best baits are mudeye, yabbies and live minnow. The lake fishes best during the cooler months for trout and over summer for redfin.

Trout can attain trophy sizes with a few 3 - 4 kg specimens being landed each season. Redfin from this water are very fat with stunning colours. A good redfin from lake Fyans can top 2.5kg.
Fyans is a very popular fly fishing destination with good all year insect activity.
