Tips for borumba. well in my past experiences i seem to have caught the majority of my fish in the main part of the dam and not way up the back.Just fish all the little bays and weed beds and if you cant get a fish go straight across from the ramp and theres sought of an old dirt road coming into the water just cast around there, theres always fish but nearly always small ;D

thanks bboy what tackle are u using for the togas cheers :).

Well im assuming you mean what lures
and i catch most of mine on a white 1\8oz shimano spinner bait retreive it fast so its pretty much on the surface but i have caught 2 on a purple poltergeist they smash it when it first hits the water and ive caught one on a white jackal funnilyt enough ;D
Hope this helps

I am heading up there next week from Thursday to Sunday. I hope it is fishing OK.

I used to go there a fair bit but have not really caught much for the past few years. Hopefully this will change. Like Borumbo Boy says, there was no real need to go too far up (except for waterskiers) and across from the boat ramp is always worth a shot. My favourites were spinnerbaits, Fly and sometimes a wide lure like a Rapalla Fat Rap cast to the edge of the weeds and twitched a lot before slowly retrieving worked on Togas.

Dam seems to have a lot of Algae in the water. Did notice a lot of people trolling. Quite a few Red claw traps around as well. Most of the fish activity was closer to the wall end of the Dam.

Mate I was just trying to do what you & Dan had suggested, match the hatch. Well I got stung for my troubles and you two were lucky but I think both your hearts started racing when you realised what was happening.

Always good for a laugh. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Caught this today #about middle of top part of dam-- just trolling #and jump she did #51 cm. Took it home will try to cook it next week #will report what it taste like, looks like a few bones # --but rather large could be OK----- #hard to catch anything on a busy weekend too many hoon boats #and they go quite close-- Plurry Irriots... #cheers
