Lake Monduran is renowned around Australia for it's Barramundi
Dam Fishing. Fred Haigh Dam (as it also known) is one of
the most southern locations in Queensland where these magnificent
fish can be caught. And we have plenty of them! Barra well over
1 metre in length are caught in the lake, as you can see by the
photos. It's not just the pro's who get them either, everyone from
children to retirees has a chance to land a big one.
Barramundi aren't the only fish in the dam or lake either. Other
stocked species are Bass, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Sooty Grunter,
Saratoga, Eel, Tandan, Snub Nosed Gar and Spangled Perch. The onsite
managers Rob and Kelly can help you with the right bait and tackle
to catch whichever of these species you are after. They have a fully
stocked bait and tackle shop, and even boat hire for those without
their own.
Lake Monduran is home to one of the biggest freshwater
dam fishing competitions in South East Queensland - the Win TV Monduran
Family Fishing Classic. This competition is held in October each
year and attracts over 700 competitors. On offer is over $15,000
worth of prizes and giveaways for competitors and their families.
There will be detailed information and registration forms for next
years Classic on the website soon. Please check the web site regularly
