FISHING REPORT - 17/8/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam anglers landed some quality Golden Perch over the weekend.  Numbers were a little down on the previous week.  Locals fishing the deeper water had success on saltwater yabbies in the main basin.  There were also a few big Silver Perch landed at the Washpool on worms.  Anglers trolling the narrower part of the dam, near the Black Boys, landed a few Golden Perch on smaller diving lures.  We also received reports on a 72cm Murray Cod being landed on a Imakatsu IK800 Hard Body while being trolled in the deeper water.

CONNOLLY DAM: There were a few more fish landed at Connolly over the past week, with the bait anglers seeing the best results.  Saltwater yabbies and worms worked very well.  There were several legal sized Golden Perch landed while fishing off the bank to the south of the dam wall in the deeper water.  We also received reports of a legal sized Murray Cod landed on a saltwater yabby.

COOLMUNDA DAM: The Golden Perch at Coolmunda were extremely active over the weekend, with anglers landing plenty quality fish.  These fish were landed on a variety of lures, with mask vibes, blades and soft plastics all working well.  There were also a few smaller Murray Cod landed over the weekend.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River around the Killarney area continues to fish well, with reports of some quality Golden Perch being landed on spinnerbaits.  There have also been a few legal sized Murray Cod landed on Stumpjumers.  Sandy Creek, to the west of Warwick, was a little slower this week with only a few fish reported.
