high fellow fishers im going out to the dam in a couple of weeks .just wondering if anybodys doing any good ?& what are u gettn them on?im a saltwater fisho dont know much about freshwater fishn.any suggestions would be appreciated. cheers ida 8-)

:)gday ida i fish here pretty regulary and try using spinnerbaits in dark olours such as purples and blacks for cod . fish the steep banks and trees letting the lure fall before starting to retrieve,fall again get the lure working up and down the tree or wall, also try trolling with spinnerbaits or a lure with a nice wide wobble. if bait fishing take ashrimp trap as these seem to be the best bait for yella belly, silver perch and even for eel tailed catfish. theres some big cod in here so use some good braid or mono whichever you choose , if you need any more info just pm me id be glad to help, just ask brian or debbie at the kiosk they will help you and put you on to where the fish are when your there. they are really nice people and you should enjoy your stay. cheers bdowdy,aka brett ;)

:)gday guys i just got back from glen lyon and what you can all look forward is watching cod in the 30lb mark and up spawning at the dam wall i sat there this morning with brian and my fam and afew other cars and watched them chasing each other and even rolling on the surface, (ABSOLUTELY AWESOME STUFF) . i fished briefly and caught 1 yella on black and red spinnerbait, no cod this trip but i reckon it wont be long till these big spawners will be hungry again instead of loving. hope you all do better than myself cheers bdowdy ;) :)
