FISHING REPORT - 20/10/2015

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam has seen some improvement over the past week, with several anglers landing their bag limit of Golden Perch.  Shrimps were the most successful in the main basin.  Anglers fishing late afternoon had the best results on bait.  We also received reports of fish being landed on trolled lures.  Numbers will start to increase as the water temperature rises.  One local angler landed a 68cm Murray Cod on a Salmo hard body.

CONNOLLY DAM: Anglers Connolly Dam landed a few fish over the past week.  There were some nice Golden and Silver Perch landed on bait.  There were also a few Catfish landed on worms.

MOOGERAH DAM: Moogerah is certainly worth the drive, with some good numbers of Bass being landed on both lures and bait.  There were some quality fish landed in the timbered area on blades and TN60 Jackalls (Beetle Juce being the most successful colour).  There were also some big Golden Perch landed on shrimps.  We received reports of a few Bass being landed on spinnerbaits by anglers fishing the weed edges.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fishing well, with numerous reports of legal sized Golden Perch being landed over the past week.  There were plenty of fish landed in and around the town area.  Anglers had success on a variety of lures, with spinnerbaits being the most successful.  There were fish landed in most of the usual spots, with the section of the river below Queens Park being the most popular.  There were plenty of fish landed all the way from Killarney to Pratten.
