Kirkleigh Boat Ramp

Kirkleigh Boat Ramp at Somerset Dam offers an excellent freshwater fishing experience, perfect for those eager to target species such as Australian Bass, Golden Perch, and the elusive Mary River Cod. The ramp provides access to the serene waters of the dam, where both boat and shore fishing are permitted. Early morning and late evening are prime times to cast your line, particularly during overcast conditions, as fish are more active in low light. Anglers often find success using a variety of techniques, including bait fishing and lure fishing, with the area's submerged structures providing ideal ambush points for fish. Be mindful of wind direction and water conditions, as these can significantly affect fish behaviour.
