Situated
between Boonah and Beaudesert lays South East Queensland's
newest impoundment, Wyaralong Dam.
Built on Teviot Brook in 2011, the lake has a surface area
of around 1230 hectares with the dam holding some 102 883
mega-litres of water when full.
Fishing
When the dam was built, there was a trapped population of
Europrean Carp which has continued to breed in the newly
flooded waters.
Fish restocking with native fish is being planned by the
Logan & Albert Fish Management Assn ( LAFMA Qld )
with planned liberations of Australian Bass and Mary River
Cod.
There is an annual Carp Fishing Competition on Lake Wyaralong,
see the Sweetwater
Events Page for details.
