You are too far south for natural range of sootys but there was a report of a population of them in the mary.
Lake mcdonald is spilling but open for fishing. there are usually a few bass there.
The dam is stocked with yellas,silvers ,bass and the iconic mary river cod and naturally occurring spanglys and tandans. Nice lake just to have a paddle around and make certain you wash the cabonba off when you have finished.
If you launch from near the hatchery and can see some of the volunteers working you may be fortunate enough for one of them to show you around if so that will be the highlight of your holiday.
Cheers

Glad you had a good time. At least some of the dams have had a top up from the recent rain so they should be a treat right now!
