Title: leslie dam and maroon
Post by: wesfish on January 12, 2011, 07:38:27 AM
hello all
i finally got to fish leslie for the first time over the last weekend, we ended up with a few yellas with the biggest going 43cm, no huge stonkers but still fun!
all so took the kids up to maroon for a few bass with my 3 yo daughter getting her first fish she was wrapped.

where you somewhere near the ski club mate ? fishing maroon has been dead tough because of the weed so you dont bloody well to get a couple of bass that big !

Leslie is on my next dam to fish list looks good from your report, how full was it ? any clues or hints to the dam ?

Cheers

Steve

Reading all the river levels and so on in the last couple days I did see some where that Leslie was 100% almost...actually the level of the dam might be on the live feed on the front of this forum...

Its on my to do list, but nor enough time lately or for a long while yet

Cheers

cheers mate, we found the bass schooled up near the wall floats, the dam was over full 2 days after boxing day. leslie dam we fished the main feeder creek to the left of the camp ground. where ever there is a feeder creek is worth a shot. spinner baits and vibs the trick in the slightly dirty water plus all the land based fishos cleaning up around the edges of the camp ground. good luck its a great dam leslie, wish i started fishing it earlier in life.
cheers

 Cheers for the clue in, I might be in with a chance now i have a sounder on my kayak. Sounds like you have both dams fairly worked out.
