Fishing Report - 20/2/17

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam remains consistent, with some quality Golden Perch being landed during the week and over the weekend.  Anglers are having success on a variety of baits, with shrimps working the best.  Some anglers reported on filling their bag limits with ease over the weekend.  Lures are also working well, particularly in the main basin and up in the more narrow part of the dam.  Trolling and casting were methods that landed fish for the lure anglers.  Blades, mask vibes, TN60 Jackalls and a variety of diving hard body lures all worked well.  Anglers reported on a few legal sized Murray Cod being landed, with one of the better fish being landed on a Jackall Doozer.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam saw a few solid Golden Perch landed over the last week.  Numbers are down a little on previous weeks but the fish that were landed were quality fish.  Land based anglers saw the best results in the northern end of the dam.  Lipless crankbaits continue to work well.  Spinnerbaits accounted for some nice Golden Perch along the weed edge.  Worms and shrimps were the most successful form of bait.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fishing well at present.  Anglers landed some quality Golden Perch on lures.  Spinnerbaits are working well, with one local angler landing a lovely 55cm Golden Perch on a purple Bassman.  Kayak anglers are also seeing some good results in the town area.  We received reports of a few smaller Murray Cod on the move.

STANTHORPE: Anglers fishing around the Stanthorpe area are landing some healthy Golden Perch and smaller Murray Cod from their Kayaks.
