Fishing Tombullen Storage in Murrumbidgee, New South Wales

• Overview

  Tombullen Storage lies in Murrumbidgee, in New South Wales. Beyond the shoreline you have pine and hardwood. The water covers around 3.32 sq km, which puts most of it out of reach from the bank. For supplies, Darlington Point is 16 km out. After that come Leeton at 26 km and Coleambally at 30 km. No regional boundary comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Tombullen Storage

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. At Tombullen Storage the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes. Sudden pressure changes tend to shut fish down for a few hours.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give February about 25°C and July about 9°C. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Levels swing with the wet season, which moves the fishing about. October and November fish well as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish Tombullen Storage. Settled weather over several days beats a single fine one.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Narrancoolambung Lagoon, 18 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the current arrangement for Tombullen Storage.
