Bostock Reservoir

Post by solararrow94 » Wed Jun 07, 2017 12:30 pm

Hi all,

Planning on fishing near Ballan this weekend at Bostock Reservoir and was wondering if anyone has had any luck here and what's in there? Also is it stocked?

Its stocked with rainbows and has small population of reddies but only has just been re stocked from when it dryed up 3 years ago so fish will be tiny it use to have chinook salmon on it is well before drying up but hasn't been re stocked with those

the water level has risen a fair bit of late and would be a good choice I was last there 12 months ago and caught 6 chinooks on powerbait. the lake is regularly stocked holds browns and rainbows reddies tench etc. picture taken 23 may 2017

According to last years stocking NO Chinook were stocked in Bostok.
They stocked 9000 Rainbows & 1000 Browns in 2016

As the aqueduct from Bostock runs south past Mount Wallace, would the small lakes (?) , just west of Beremboke,therefore have trout ????

Cheers
