Boondooma Lake - QLD

This Dam and accommodation facilities has been developed into a regional recreation area where the fishing is excellent and amenities second to none. Fingerlings are released annually into the dam, with main species being golden perch (yellowbelly), silver perch and Australian bass. Boondooma Dam is a popular fishing destination due to the varied methods available from bait and lure fishing and deep fly tactics. Boondooma Dam is considered one of the most consistent inland fishing spots in Queensland. Numerous Yellowbelly and Australian Bass Fishing Competitions are held at the dam each year. A stock impoundment permit is needed to fish.
