Fishing Report 8/8/2017

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam landed a few fish over the weekend.  Numbers weren’t huge but there were some good fish amongst them.  We received two reports of legal sized Murray Cod being landed, with the largest measuring 106cm in length.  Both of these fish were landed on spinnerbaits.  Anglers are landing some larger Golden Perch on shrimps, with a few fish measuring in excess of 45cm.  Blades continue to land the odd Golden Perch in the main basin.  Anglers reported on a landing a few catfish from the bank near the Washpool Camping Reserve.

CONNOLLY DAM: Anglers at Connolly Dam are reporting on things being a little steady, with only a handful of legal sized Golden Perch being landed.  Afternoons are proving to be the most successful, with shrimps and saltwater yabbies working the best.  One local angler managed to land a lovely 48cm Silver Perch on Sunday morning on a silent TN50 Jackall.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The Condamine River is fishing the best on the eastern side of Warwick, with anglers around the Killarney area landing some quality Golden Perch on lures.  We received a report of a legal sized Murray Cod being landed in the Murrays Bridge area on a surface walker.  Anglers fishing from their kayaks landed some quality Golden Perch on spinnerbaits upstream of the Mill Hole.  Anglers in the Pratten area also managed to land some legal sized Golden Perch on spinnerbaits and bait.
