Lake Elphinstone

[wags on the water]

Has anyone fished this lake? Is it a Stocked Impoundment? What would I be likely to catch if fishing is allowed?

Regards,

Wags

G'day Mike. My "Guide to Freshwater Fishing Qld - Stocked Impoundments" has no entry for Lake Elphinstone. So presumably - its not stocked.

Thanks Peter. I'll look for signs of life on the lake, try flicking some lures for a couple of hours, then if still nothing I'll go to the coast.

Cheers,
Wags

Last time we were there fishing was allowed but can't say what you would catch as the lake goes nearly dry at times.

How much water us there Wags. My oldied were heading there but decided not to as it does dry in times of no rain.

Get some cray traps. Mum and Dad have caught them there.

Might see you Sunday.

Cheers

Mark,

The lake is full at the moment. The water is lapping the edge of the camp ground and to the south itis up into the barbed wire fence.

It is apparently a very nice place to visit with hot showers and dogs permitted. I have been told that the neighbouring land holders bait just inside their properties to deter dogs, both wild and humanised!

Hey Wags being a member of MAFSA i can say that there has been no stocking in Lake Elpninstone.

But it is a great camping area


cheers camo

Thanks Camo. I was hoping to have a fish on my days off, but it looks like I'll have to go to the coast.

Cheers.
