Warwick area fishing report 29/9/15

LESLIE DAM: Leslie Dam remains consistent, with some quality fish being landed over the school holidays.  There were plenty of Golden Perch landed over the 45cm mark, with the deeper water in the main basin proving the best.  Blades continue to be the lure of choice, as anglers are seeing good results in 20 to 30 feet of water.  We received reports of Golden perch being landed on trolled lures.  One local angler landed four Golden Perch on Saturday morning while using a green and gold Southern Cross Jackass.  There were also several Murray Cod landed over the past week, with most being around the 65cm mark.  One lucky angler managed to land a 78cm on a Jaz Aussie 200.  Spinnerbaits also accounted for a few smaller Murray Cod.
 
CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam remains fairly quiet, with not too many fish being landed.  There was also the odd fish landed on bait from the bank.  Things have been a bit quiet for the lure anglers.
 
COOLMUNDA DAM: Murray Cod at Coolmunda Dam are very active at present, with several big fish being landed over the past week.  Spinnerbaits and big hard body lures are working well.  We received reports of plenty of Golden Perch being landed, with one Warwick angler landing seven Golden Perch on Friday morning on Squidgie Fish Soft Plastics.
 
RIVERS AND CREEKS: The local river and creek systems have been the standout, with most anglers experiencing success.  Small profile lures have been working well in the town area, with one angler landing some big Golden Perch below Scots Weir.  There also fish landed in the Mill Hole and at Wheatvale.  Anglers fishing in the Killarney area also caught some nice fish.  Don’t forget that it is closed season for Murray Cod and these fish must be released
