Here’s the fishing report for Boondooma and Bjelke-Petersen dams for the week ending Monday, September 21:
* * *
Boondooma Dam
- Dam Level = 65 per cent
Redclaw are still slow. Hopefully, with this warmer water they will start moving about.
The Bass have had an awesome week, with up to 58cm fish being caught on spinner bait, and good numbers being found.
Golden Perch were the hard fish to catch this week. The ones that did get caught were on frozen yabbies.
* * *
Bjelke-Petersen Dam (Yallakool)
- Dam Level = 47 per cent
The fishing was very good this week with plenty of Bass being caught as well as good numbers of Golden Perchs.
Most success was had with hard bodies in the 10 to 15 foot range around ridges but some anglers were also successful with worms and salt water yabbies.
Redclaw did not make much of a showing but many locals predict they’re due to start building up in better numbers.
The Yallakool Kiosk is stocked with live bait, frozen yabbies and a range of lures.
Note: Corey Goldie is the manager of the Lake Boondooma and Yallakool Tourist Parks and provides first-hand reports on fishing conditions at both Dams each week.
