Maroon dam

[MitchCalcutt]

Went for a drive with the young family today to visit one of my all time favourite Bassing holes.

Picture if you will the colour and density of a five year olds snot, thick and very green. That’s what Maroon looks like. Underwater visibility is about 20cm and covers the total 15 Acers of what’s left of dam water.

There was a boat out at 10.30 which pulled a couple nice fish while we were there, so water or not the fish are still biting.

Q; where are they biting you ask?
A; the location of the fish is clearer than the water as there isn’t much of it.

One good rain and that dam will be well and truly worth a fish.

Good fishing

Don't know Brett, there's talk of the only ramp at hinze closing in the next few weeks due to low water and construction of a new ramp(Eastern ramp). I wouldn't be planing to fish any particular pond untill its time to go.
Where is Chrestbrook?
I will be making my marlin lures by then and may not be fishing much at all.

There are still 2 ramps at Hinze that you can use...one on the Eastern arm (pump tower) and one up the Western arm. The Western arm boatramp is 4wd only at this stage and the Eastern Ramp will only close when the water level gets to 50%.
