Additional information
The image was taken at approximately 2 am in the morning. Various species of fish began to gather in the shallows after dark, and by 10 pm that night the shallows around the lake's edge had numerous fish, including Murray Cod, Redfin and Gudgeons, "sleeping" amongst the stones and weeds.
