Lake Burrinjuck, formed by Burrinjuck Dam on the Murrumbidgee River in New South Wales, is one of Australia's most storied inland fisheries. Nestled in the rolling hills southwest of Yass, this expansive reservoir has long been a destination for anglers chasing a variety of native and introduced species. The lake's diverse habitat — ranging from submerged timber and rocky points to shallow bays and deeper channel sections — creates ideal conditions for multiple species throughout the year. Burrinjuck is particularly well regarded for its Murray cod fishing, which has earned a loyal following among dedicated anglers willing to invest the time and effort required to connect with these iconic Australian natives.
