Burrinjuck Dam Fishing
Burrinjuck Dam is known in the region for its great fishing opportunities. It supports agriculture across the Murrumbidgee River and is the main source of water under the Murrumbidgee irrigation scheme.
Boating and fishing are popular pastimes in the area, with a variety of native fish species such as Murray Cod, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Rainbow Trout, and yabbies to be caught. You'll need an appropriate license from NSW Fisheries before you can start catching them along the dam wall.
You can conveniently fish in the area from the Burrinjuck Waters Holiday Park complete with fish cleaning facilities and boat ramps for easy access. There's also a wharf for visitors to use for fishing and swimming. Fishing in the major dam area is best with a Burrinjuck Dam fishing map.
