MOOGERAH DAM / MAROON: Anglers at Moogerah have reported on the fish really firing up.  The warmer weather has increased the water temperature, which causes the fish to become more active.  The warmer weather also means an increase in boating traffic.  Make sure to be very careful when on the water.  Hard body lures, blades and live shrimps worked well.

RIVER AND CREEKS: The local rivers and creeks continue to produce some nice fish.  There were some nice Golden Perch landed at Murrays Bridge over the weekend on spinnerbaits.  The were also some quality fish landed in the Pratten area while trolling hard body lures.  Anglers also reported on some good numbers being caught in various spots along e Condamine River in the town area.  The majority of these fish were caught on bait, with hard body lures working the best for the lure anglers.
