Fishing Report - 22/2/2016

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam is a little slow at the moment, with only a few fish being landed over the past week.  Frozen and live shrimps accounted for a few Golden Perch on Sunday afternoon in the main basin on the southern side of the wall.  Campers at the dam also landed a few legal sized Silver and Golden Perch off the bank on worms and shrimps.  Trolling hard body lures around the main basin also accounted for a few Golden Perch.  One angler landed 3 Golden Perch on Sunday on a Storm Arashi Deep 10.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam anglers had the best success in the latter part of the week.  A Warwick angler caught and released a healthy 70cm Murray Cod on a spinnerbait on Sunday arfternoon while fishing from his tinny.  Anglers also reported on a few Golden Perch being landed on lipless crankbaits when fished close to the weed pockets.  TN60 Jackalls and Atomic Vib 60’s are a couple of lures that are working quite well at the moment.  Worms and small crays also accounted for a few Golden Perch over the weekend.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River saw a bit more action, with reports of a few legal sized Murray Cod landed over the weekend.  Anglers fishing in the Killarney area had some success on lures, both diving and surface.  We also received reports of legal sized Golden Perch being landed on crays.  There were a few more fish landed between Wheatvale and Pratten.  One local angler landed a couple of smaller Murray Cod on surface, while also landing a few Golden Perch on Bassman Twinspins Spinnerbaits.
