Lake Barumba Report?

[woolybugger]

Hi all,

Thinking of going back to my favourite fishing haunt, Lake Barumba. I used to fish this place quite often, however not recently now the water level has risen.

Does anyone have any reports for here with locations etc I used to fish up the creeks, fly fishing for Saratogas.

Cheers...

Well will you be targetin sara or bass?
for sara one of my mates caught a large specimen in the first bay just aroun the corner from the rock wall over a metre giant fish.
And bass on the corner just before the sticks theres a bit of weed.though i have pulled a fair few good bass from there
i may be heading up this weekend so ill give you a report

I am heading up there next week as well, so hopefully it will be firing!

[Stumpthumpa]

Wooly,
I hope you had better luck than I did. Borumba was very quiet last week with very little surface activity. Managed a few bass each day, but very slow, we worked hard for them (bait, spinnerbaits, hardbody and soft plastics). Some Toga came on towards last weekend but again they were patchy.

[Borumba_boy]

Well stumpthumpa i musta had more luck than you because over the two days we probably got a good 30 bass between the 3 of us and about 10 yellas also a few toga arond the weed beds.it was a pretty good weekend and if the engines fixed by next week ill be out there on tuesday and camp till thursday or friday.

[Stumpthumpa]

Nathan,
I have a white 4.1 Allycraft Shadow Legend, 30hp Yammie and a Minkota bow mount. We fished both arms of the dam and also down at the ski area before it got too noisy. Maybe I will see you up there again one day - it is a great area.

[Borumba_boy]

Yeah some good weed beds are developing and i am hoping to get some good surface action over them when the water rises a bit.Jeffo, You'll have to give me a bell next time your going out there and ill direct you to the good spots.Well anyway keep those lines wet

Got a big fat zero. a couple of boils from toga but after 1 we'd had enough and went to the barra park for a few hours .

[woolybugger]

You went to the Barra park, what and wheres that?

Sounds like a Barra Farm, so probably costs money, if so how much and is it any good there?

[Borumba_boy]

yeah ive been once just 2 weeks ago its pretty good and i got the whole day for 22 bucks but you would have to pay more because im only 15
