Fishing Report - 31/10/2016

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam reported on plenty of small Golden Perch being landed on trolled lures towards the back end of the dam.  Anglers casting blades and TN60 Jackalls landed a few larger fish in the main basin while casting the structure.  Bait anglers also had some reasonable success while fishing from both the boat and from the bank.  Two local anglers filled their bag limits on shrimps and saltwater yabbies on Saturday afternoon before the storm.  The most successful spot was across from the Washpool.  Anglers reported on a few Murray Cod on the move, with reports of several smaller fish being landed over the weekend.

CONNOLLY DAM: There was several quality Golden Perch landed at Connolly Dam over the weekend, some measuring in excess of 50cm.  The kayak anglers landed some nice fish while trolling deep diving hard body lures.  Smak Brolgas worked quite well.  We received a few reports of some quality Golden Perch landed from the bank on shrimps and crays.  Anglers also commented on some nice Silver Perch being landed.  There were also some smaller Murray Cod landed on both bait and lures.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River fished well in the town area, with several good sized Golden Perch being landed over the weekend.  The bait fishermen landed some solid Golden Perch downstream of the Scots Weir.  We also received reports of Golden Perch being landed upstream of the Mill Hole.  We also received reports from Clifton on some quality Golden Perch being landed in Kings Creek on Sunday afternoon on saltwater yabbies.  We also received reports of some nice fish being coming out of the Dalrymple Creek in the Allora area.
