Hello All,

Drove up to Mookerawa (Macquarie River arm of Burrendong),
Sat morning for a over night stay to see how much waters flowing into
the main river arm that fills the dam ,

Water level was @12% 3 weeks ago & now @ about 27% !!

Sign @ Stuart Town turn off,


The catchment areas have had over 5.5 inches in the past 2 weeks,

The bridge over Mookawa creek that feeds the Macquarie River arm,



The start of the park area (Pine Hill) on the way into main camp area
& the creek still pumping hard,







Tess the Red cattle dog loved the ride down the rapids ha ha



Nearly at the mouth of the Macquarie River arm,



& bingo she hits the River (Middle right of pic) looking east down stream
towards Bathurst,



No:2 Boat ramp on the Mookawa creek arm back in the water again,



& looking North towards the Dam wall starting to expand a lot now,



The dirt road that leeds you down to the river boat ramp when the water
level gets below 12%,







Cheers Rob.

That's great news mate. I think you may be in for a cracker yella season

Great report & photos. That water is really pumping. Augers wells for a good season for you guys up there. Now, if only Eildon and Eppalock can get filled up like this. And all the others as well that are empty or really low. How good would that be? Rain dammit, rain. Pray like hell, more rain needed, we're getting a bit but we need a hell of alot more..

Butch they are both well on the rise Eildon@ 32% and eppalock @ 11.66% Eppalock is the highest it has been for many years.
This is the highest i have seen Eildon at this time of year many years.
There is a good chance it may hit 40-45% come spring.
This will mean we will be targeting yellas where we have never fished for them before, simply because we haven't had the levels since yella's in eildon became a option. Bring on the yellas

And Hume is pushing 35% so it may well go over 50% before the irrigation season this year. The yellas went alright last season, can't wait for this spring!!

Great photo's and report Rob, we should arrange to fish it one weekend
A mates old man loves the place.
