Fishing near Gawler, South Australia

Gawler stands in Adelaide Hills, out in South Australia. Its population sits near 20,006. Counting outwards from town: 10.7 km away is Barossa Reservoir to the south-east, 14.7 km away is South Para Reservoir, 26.1 km away is Millbrook River Reservoir to the south then 29.6 km away is Kangaroo Creek Reservoir. Millbrook River Reservoir answers to the pipe rather than the rain, so the level moves oddly. Held water is what the area offers. Cover on the bank counts as much as cover below it. Nothing here goes hard in winter. First and last light carry the summer. Barossa Reservoir sits nearest and covers some 57 hectares. There is a car park at Barossa Reservoir, according to mapping. Fish documented across Adelaide Hills include perch, brown trout, common carp, rainbow trout and south Australian roughy. Anything you fish here counts as Adelaide Hills water, so read the county rules first....
