Another year been and gone, that makes 5 years online.
Hard to believe that back in 2006 this place began as more of a simplified blog, spin forward to 2011 and it's the same blog only a little more glorified. After the huge spells of rain throughout the land in December 2010 this year began kind of turbidly. Local lakes and rivers had more water than many of our man made impoundments had ever seen. Googong Dam was suddenly at 100% and overflowing, the same can be said for Wyangla/Burrinjuck (And many others Australia wide).
Situated roughly 160km south of Sydney and an easy drive from Canberra is the centrepiece of the NSW South Coasts Shoalhaven scheme, Tallowa Dam. This concrete dam was completed in 1976 and is located immediately downstream from the junction of the Kangaroo and the Shoalhaven rivers. Tallowa Dam collects water from a 5,750 square kilometre water catchment that extends from Kangaroo Valley in the north-east to the upper Shoalhaven River south-west of Braidwood.
This water is stored in Lake Yarrunga, which is in itself is formed by Tallowa Dam. Lake Yarunga is the main water supply for the Shoalhaven and is one of Sydney’s major regular drinking water supplies.
I have been keeping this under my hat for awhile, so much so that it's been many months in the making and I had almost forgot it was happening. Low and behold AFN in conjunction with YAK Fisher magazine and contributors Nigel Webster, Rob Maya, Derek Steele, David Tindale and Carl DuBois have just released the 'Kayak Fishing Manual'. This book is the culmination of a lot of hard work for YF editor Rob Maya and I am glad to have had a major part in its development.
Issue #53 winter edition of Sport Fishing Australia (Incorporating YAK Fisher) is out in stores now, just in time for the onset of seasonal change. The Sport Fishing Australia section features many toparticles from seasoned sport fishing journalists such as Steve Starling, Shane Mensforth, Al McGlashan, Scott Gray and Nigel Webster, Lee Rayner, Neil Schultz just to name a few.
