Blowering Reservoir, New South Wales: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Blowering Reservoir is a Snowy Valleys water, in New South Wales. It lies 342 metres above sea level. At 39.40 sq km you are fishing a fraction of it whatever you do. The bank runs about 48 km in total, split between open shore and sheltered corners. By surface area it heads our Snowy Valleys listings. Nearest place of any size is Batlow, 11 km away. Canberra is the closest city, 82 km away. The regional boundary is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Blowering Reservoir

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists perch. Check the state or provincial list before planning around one species. Treat Blowering Reservoir as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect February near 20°C and July near 5°C on the long-run figures. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. Summer, December to February, brings heat, so fish the early and late hours. April and May steady things again after the summer heat. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Blowering Reservoir.
