Fisging Report - 7/3/2017

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam continues to fish well, with anglers having success on trolled hard body lures over the weekend.  We received several reports from anglers of legal sized Golden Perch being landed in approximately 12 to 15 feet of water.  Anglers fishing the deeper water in the main basin had success on tail spinners and blades.  Anglers landed plenty of smaller Golden Perch on bait in the main basin and along the southern bank.  We received two reports of legal sized Murray Cod landed, with the best measuring in excess of 70cm.  This fish was landed on a Smak hard body.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly is still producing some reasonable numbers on bait by anglers fishing from the bank.  Worms and crays are working well on both Golden and Silver Perch.  We received reports of several smaller Murray Cod on the move.  Spinnerbaits and trolling hard body lures landed a few larger Golden Perch from kayaks along the western bank.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River continues to fish well in the town area, with some quality Golden Perch being landed over the past week on both lures and bait.  Spinnerbaits are working well for the lures anglers, especially in the Mill Hole and upstream of Tiddlik.  There were also some nice fish landed in the Canningvale area.  Anglers have also reported on landing some big carp near the footy club.

MAROON DAM: Anglers at Maroon Dam landed plenty of smaller Bass over the weekend, with most fish being landed tight in the weed edge on a variety of lures.  We also received reports of a few quality Bass being landed on surface lures.  Anglers also landed a few nice fish on shrimps in the timbered area.
