Atherton Tablelands Black Bream & Barra Fishing
Barking Owl Retreat Black Bream Brags

Atherton Tablelands fishing Accommodation Barking Owl Retreat has a large
private Dam with it's own Jetty so come and join in the fun and try your hand at fishing! Fishing equipment is supplied although you are welcome to bring your own rods and lures. The dam is stocked with Black Bream also known as 'sooty grunter', Mouth All Mighty, and Barramundi. The Barramundi will be re-stocked in early 2011. Try your hand at fishing and take your photo to secure a place on our Brag's page, then relax by the open fire place in the dam hut!

Brant and son Jake of Clifton Beach caught this whopper Black Bream! Julatten boys Adam and son Fletcher caught the first Black Bream for 2010! Chloe from Townsville hooked a couple of mouth all mighty. Stephen had a bit of help from Neo. John and Hanna of Townsville caught a Black Bream and afterwards Hanna put Neo to sleep after his big afternoon down the dam. Neo was there to help John and Hanna catch a Black Bream. Tash and Georgia from Sydney, NSW each caught a huge Mouth all Mighty each in April 2010. This is how big their fish really were! Troy and his daughters Lily and Josie from Cairns left the boat at home, and fished at Barking Owl Retreat instead over Easter 2010. Are there really crocodiles at Barking Owl Retreat? You will have to come and find out for yourself! Richard and his son Alexander of Toowong in Qld caught a nice little fat Black Bream while Chilli watched on eagerly! Chilli at it again in on the fishing with Trevor from Mossman who caught a huge one! Our Sons Keegan and Brody who have caught many Black Bream in our dam, finally got caught on camera in February 2010 when the dam was alive with water spiders and cicadas!
