SurfcaztR 707 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I see the fence banners around the perimeter fencing saying it will be open to the public in December,i'm sure the place will be popular for so many activities. Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Softy 2,987 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 It sure will be if Myponga opening is anything to go by. Out north has had a handful open for a while now so it is about time they opened another one down south. Meppstas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keenfisho 1,416 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Is it going to be open for fishing? I thought this was only opening for walking and riding? I hope they do allow yaks and fishing. Only problem will be how accessible it is, it will get smashed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though there wont be anywhere as many fish in there at Myponga so it won't get such a hype. Will be to hard to fish for some no doubt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southie THE BANGA 2,303 Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Will be a trophy fish fishery if my sources are correct can't wait for this to open up. Living only 5mins away makes it an awesome place to kill some time after work! Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 If they can open Happy Valley Reservoir can they also open Little Para Reservoir? Sent from my SM-J120ZN using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jodo 9 Posted October 17, 2021 Report Share Posted October 17, 2021 Looking forward to the opening in December. I'm only 5-10 minutes down the hill so will be great to have another option nearby to wet a line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SurfcaztR 707 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 Complete chaos at Happy Valley reservoir. A guy says seen 15 Cod caught in 15 mins from shore plus Cod being dragged out over ground and bagged,what a mess it has been over the weekend.plenty more shenanigans to come.

Sykes 192 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I was keen to check it out opening week, but seeing the posts about the chaos and the poor handling, and sheer lack of respect has turned me right off it. I'll be giving it a while before I head over. It's extremely disapointing being only a couple days in. Would not be surprised if they take water access away as a temporary measure.

SurfcaztR 707 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 The Rangers were there on and off and did educate some of do's and don'ts but they had other places to be as well and once they are out of sight anything can happen with out them as the temptation in catching one of the 1,000 Cod in there and on the dinner table.Signage is around the place re fish limits and rules but the public turned zombie and ignored common sense, I'm too avoiding the place for a while.

Sykes 192 Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I also think the tagging competition could be adding fuel to the fire. Everyone heading there, in for a chance. Soobz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SurfcaztR 707 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Drove into the car park area this morning off Chandlers hill rd this is the "car/trailer" parking area for those who have the larger Hobie style yaks,good luck finding a park.The other parking areas only had about 10 car parks left before being full.Better signage is needed for trailer parking only.
