Sugarloaf Reservoir

[solararrow94]

Hi all,

I haven't been to Sugarloaf Reservoir before but it isn't much of a drive from home so I thought to give it a go. Is this time of year a good time to fish it? And what are people catching there?

Always a chance of a reddy at sugarloaf....

Remember lure only no bait or berley. take boots gumboot as it can get sort around the edges.

I was thinking of venturing up to sugarloaf soon. The parks website says

Shoreline fishing is only allowed in designated areas

. Is there only a few spots, or is it mostly allowed?

Also, given there is only artificial bait allowed. Has anyone got any suggestions for a setup that can be cast out and set (similar to worms), or is actively working the lures the only option?

Where is it

[Boonanza]

Sugarloaf is at Christmas hills between Kangaroo Ground & Yarra Glen.

Would powerbait count as artificial?

Designated area is fairly extensive around the picnic areas

Also be aware gates close in the evening, can get out but not in. Not sure what time they open in the morning
