2014 Boondooma Dam Yellowbelly Fishing Competition

The second (and final) day of the weekend-long 24th annual Boondooma Dam Yellowbelly Fishing Competition will be held at Boondooma Dam today, starting at around 5:00am this morning and concluding with final weigh-ins around lunchtime. The event - organised by the Boondooma Dam Fish Stocking Association in conjunction with a bevy of sponsors - will have adult and junior sections and numerous cash prizes for each weigh-in period. A licensed bar, BBQ and food and drink stalls will be operating for the duration and accommodation for competitors is available at the adjoining Lake Boondooma Tourist Park. Competition entry fees are $20 for adults and $5 for children and all competitors will need to have a Stocked Impoundment Permit to take part. Last year hundreds of keen anglers wet their lines for a share of the $4,500 prize-monies and large numbers of campers packed the dam's camping grounds. This year organisers expect similar numbers or higher. More details and/or nominations? Phone John on (0427) 112-477 or send him an email. Want on-site accommodation? Then phone the Lake Boondooma Tourist Park on (07) 4168-9694 or email them. Note: The Yellowbelly is returning to its normal slot in February after being deferred to Maye last year due to the 2013 Queensland floods. The Dam is now completely back to normal, though, and the fishing's never been better - so if you like to wet a line, this is one Yellowbelly not be missed!
