Re: Any fish at Sugarloaf Reservoir Park?
Thanks DougieK. I've seen some soft plastics at Kmart, they are Berkley soft plastics but I'm not sure which one to buy, any recommendation to me? Thanks.DougieK wrote:It's supposedly a decent yellow belly spot but i've only ever got reddies there. Spinners, tassie devilsand plastics, Cast near ANY of the dead trees in the water.
I found a nearly same one on BCF website just for your reference.

Thanks mate. It is said they can use some "artificial bait", such as bread...BIG GAV wrote:I caught a few reddie near the dam wall I always see people using bait there n never see a ranger hassle them and the local store sells worms so I dunno I just know u can't clean fish there no dogs allowed etc
Maybe this or next week I may give it a go just with some soft plastics.

If I got a dollar for every report that 'Lofty' from CA(ringwood) would write, "yellowbelly and trout taken at sugarloaf on worms", I would be a millionaire already....

I like it cos it numbs me..

If breads acceptable I don't see why worms aren't! I used lures first few trips n kept seeing poke with worms so now I use both there as for lures I use soft plastic baitfish 3" grubs and a few vibes and crankbaits! Alot of snags around so pack extras haha
If I'm not fishing, I'd rather be fishing!

Nice scenery there also! So not landing a yellowbelly ain't as bad with the scenery n locals (roos n wombats)

Re: Any fish at Sugarloaf Reservoir Park?
Hi Guys
Just wondering if Sugarloaf is still a decent options for fishing (2016) i can see a lot of these posts are quite old.
Is it still a Lures only lake? or is that not really policed?
Cheers
