Amongst a lot of other interesting stuff at https://www.nca.gov.au/environment/lake-burley-griffin there is the latest report on fish management.

The native fish population in Lake Burley Griffin is enhanced through the regular seeding of fingerlings. Species such as Murray Cod and Golden Perch are released on an alternate basis to maintain a mixed recreational fishery. Read all about it in The Lake Burley Griffin Fish Survey 2023-24. https://www.nca.gov.au/sites/default/files/2025-02/2023-24%20Fisheries%20Survey%20for%20Lake%20Burley%20Griffin.pdf

Come along and join fellow club members for a great weekend fishing at Lake Eucumbene on 21-23 March. We will be basing ourselves out of Buckenderra Village which has a number of accommodation options from cabins to camping out.. All types of fishing are available – bait, lure and fly.

With the tough summer and small amount of rain, the rivers have been particularly tough, so a number of us have taken the opportunity to focus on lake fishing……and it’s been pretty productive if you happen to there at the right time and employing the right techniques, even for the shore-based angler.

One location which boasts terrific opportunities for the shore based angler is Buckenderra Holiday Village. Buckenderra is roughly 30 minutes’ drive from Cooma NSW. The shoreline at Buckenderra has all the right stuff to attract feeding trout: If you are not into fly fishing, you can certainly do bait or lure fishing in the lakes and rivers. Kayak and boating are also available on the lake.

Please join us for a weekend of socialising. It’s up to you if you come for two or one night or a day trip. Claude is organising and the CAA trip registration address will be emailed to members.

Cancellation considerations: If the weather is crappy Claude said he won’t be going. He will make the call for himself on Wednesday prior to the trip. As this is largely an independent activity, you are most welcome to continue your trip!
