Bass In Lane Cove River Park

[Jamiel1000]

Has anyone caught any Bass in the LCR park

I was talking to the ranger down there the other day and he said that there are some good ones in the river along with carp.

any info would be great.

I fish Lane Cove alot for bass and yes they are in there (along with some huge carp). Some very nice bass have been pulled out of there BUT you really need a kayak to get to the fish.

where abouts in the park do you find the fish

the ranger said that you can only fish between the weir and the boat shed

is this the case or are there other areas to try

cheers

I was under the impression that this is the area that you could not fish ?

I fish land based mainly so anywhere from Fiddens warf road up your allowed to fish.

The thing with Lane Cove is that it looks like every where will hold fish ..... it doesn't.

There are good bass in Lane Cove and there are a fair few around if you know where to look. This is why you need a Canoe/Kayak so you can search the river and land based spots are very limited.

Cheers,

I agree. Land based spots are very limited as the banks are covered by thick growth for a good stretch of the river. A canoe will assist with exploration.

You CANNOT fish between the boatshed and the weir. You can fish from the boatshed to Ryde rd, but in yakak/canoe or row boat only. Land based, as Fletcher says is strictly west of Fiddens Wharf (roughly). Signs are around the place showing where you can and can't.

It is also a lure and fly only, and catch and release only.

There are Bass there, but you've got to work pretty hard for them.
