Lake Frome is a remote and ecologically significant lake located in South Australia, within the Lake Frome Conservation Park. Situated in the arid outback fringe near the Flinders Ranges, this lake is part of a broader drainage basin that collects floodwater from a network of drains and watercourses before channeling water through an outlet to the sea at Southend. The lake is a dynamic and ephemeral wetland environment — its character shifting dramatically between wet and dry cycles — and it sits at the intersection of several major inland drainage systems, including connections to the Lake Eyre Basin via the Frome River system. This remote, wild setting makes Lake Frome a place of genuine ecological interest, though anglers should understand that this is not a conventional recreational fishery and the lake's fish populations are closely tied to rare and irregular flood events.
