Best Tide State to Fish Myponga Reservoir
There is no swell and no tide here - the variable that makes or breaks a session is wind, because the open reservoir basin builds a chop quickly and an exposed shoreline becomes hard to fish accurately once it does. Calm mornings before the sea breeze fills in are the prime window, and a glassed-off first hour after the gates open, over flooded timber, is about as good as Myponga gets. Kayakers in particular should check the Bureau forecast and get off the water before any afternoon blow, keeping left off the launch to skirt the reed beds. Water clarity is generally good after the treatment upgrades, and the fish push shallower as the water warms through spring and summer. After heavy winter rain the inflow can colour the upper arm, which can switch the redfin on or push them deeper depending on the day. SA Water currently warns that low storage levels have left parts of the shoreline steep, slippery or set in deep sucking mud, so pick your bank carefully and bring a trolley if you're dragging a kayak to the water. The dam wall is fenced off behind a boom and warning buoys, and the northern shore is private - stay on the marked southern side.
What Anglers Target Here
