Fishing Report 4/7/2017

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam is fishing quite well at the moment, with some good numbers being landed over the past week.  We received several reports of some quality Golden Perch being landed in the main basin on saltwater yabbies.  These fish were landed in approximately 7 to 9 metres of water.  Most anglers are reporting on plenty of undersized Golden Perch (around 25cm – 28cm) as well as several smaller Murray Cod.  Campers at the Washpool had success on worms and saltwater yabbies, with some reasonable Golden and Silver Perch being landed from the bank.  Blades continue to be the best option for the lure anglers, as the majority of Golden Perch are sitting hard on the bottom.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam saw a few better fish landed than previous weeks, with afternoons being the most successful time to try your luck.  Worms and crays are working well for anglers fishing from the eastern and northern banks.  Silent TN50 Jackalls also accounted for some legal sized Golden Perch.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: Anglers fishing the Condamine River continue to land some nice fish, with a few legal sized Murray Cod landed over the past week.  We received a report of four legal sized fish being landed on the eastern side of town, with spinnerbaits accounting for two of these fish.  Anglers fishing in the town area also managed to land a few nice fish, with legal sized fish coming out of the Mill hole, below the Wallace Street Bridge and out to Lyndhurst Lane.  There were also reports of a few quality Golden Perch being landed in the Dalrymple Creek at Goomburra on both lures and bait.
