The fishing side of our trip to Malpas Dam was disappointing. Max, Rob, Bec, Bruce and Andrew all cast their lines, but only caught four fish between them the largest of which would hardly make a meal. This is the largest of the specimens and Max seems somewhat under whelmed:
Still, like most such expeditions the event was rather restful and I spent my time listening to a broadcast of the second test match between Australia and Sri Lanka in Melbourne - apart from wandering around and taking pictures of the excitement at the water's edge.
It was a nice day out and I didn't even get wet in the end because swimming is banned in Armidale's water supply.

Does the lake ever run low or even dry? Last year in the U.K we had drought in certain parts but this year we have been inundated with rain this Autumn. Indeed, I think that they are declaring 2012 to be the wettest year on record. Richard.
Strangely enough for the driest continent, the highest parts of the Northern Tablelands in which the lake is embedded has one of the most stable and wetter climates. The altitude is about 3900 feet and is at the intersection of two moist circulation systems: cool fronts coming in off the southern ocean and very warm and moist air-flow arriving from the Coral Sea to the north-east.
