I have driven up the highway to the larger dams a few times and intend going in there one day so we would welcome a report on how it is fishing.

Dont go into too much detail or exaggerate as you will cause traffic jams. There are a lot of fishermen wondering where they can catch a fish at the moment.

I didn't think it had been stocked yet??

Vin did a bit of work about 2 yrs ago at the dam with revegetation and nothing had been stocked at the time. Obviously there would be remnant fish there from when the dam was created but don't know if it's worth fishing. really picturesque though.

Darylive - it's on the way to Mondy. Turn off at Maryborough or Childers - it's new Biggenden.

Just talking to a mate who recently visited the dam, not to fish, and he told it is a great spot. Free gas BBs, I think he said free camping. Ranger in site.

Not stocked as yet, which could mean they are still undersize.

Sounds like a nice spot.
