It’s warming up which means so is Barra season and Kinchant Dam is an easy starting point to get back into some Barra fishing.
If you’re interested in testing your skills and techniques in a competition than why not jump over to MTA - Mackay Tournament Anglers and have a shot at their King of The Dams KOTD series starting soon.

You might be lucky enough to catch a tagged Barra in one Mackay’s 3 dams as well as the Pioneer River.

Who’s been lucky enough to catch a tagged Barra? Here’s some Kinchant Dam recent tagged recaptures

Tagged Barra recapture !

Great to see the legal size Barra released to continue to grow and travel even further. This Barra was tagged and released at Platypus Beach and has successfully travelled over the weirs to the mouth of the Pioneer River to grow to 82cm.
If you catch any tagged fish, take a photo of the fish and/or the tag and phone Suntag or report on their website!
