Glenbawn Dam

[glennmreid]

Hi everyone!

I'm going away on Friday for a weekend fishing on Glenbawn Dam. Most of my fishing has been saltwater, so any tips on fishing Glenbawn would be really appreciated. Types of lures, locations in the dam to fish, species targeted etc

Thanks for your help. Will post a report on my return.

Spinner baits and Jackals and a few hard bodies that will dive to 10 feet or so.

Look for water that is around 10 to 16 feet deep and trees submerged or weed beds.

Go past the furthest point you can see on the right hand side and go around the corner and work the banks early in the morning and 3pm till dark.

If the water has warmed enough the bass should be on.

We will be fishing the dam for a week in November as we have done for the last 7 or 8 yrs.

Good luck and looking forward to a good report ,the dam has risen to around 38 % which is not too bad.

Go and see Dennis and Sandra at the kiosk and tell them you are a fishraider .

Dennis and Sandra are both members and really nice people

You will encounter good yellowbelly (Golden Perch) silver perch and Bass as well as catfish and maybe the very very odd murray cod ( I havent ever seen one in 10 yrs ,but people have caught them)

Cheers Stewy

Like you chopper, I have not spent ANY time on the fresh, but my regular visits to Tamworth in the past 2 years (missus has been working there) Has seen me stop off to have a sticky beak at Glenbawn and other Lakes/Dams in the area.

I'd be keen to drag my boat up there and give it a shot sometime - so the info is welcomed - thanks Stewy.

That is what this site is about Chris,I wouldnt have thought the bass would be on yet up the Nepean.

One of the members said that they were on and that got me back on the sweetwater 2 months earlier than normal

Thats why this site is so good ,members willing to share their knowledge with others.

I am just a small cog in this major bit of machinery ,it all works great with everyones input.

Hi Chop,

I will keep an eye out for you. I'm going up on Friday, and staying until Sunday. I'm a member of the Sea Bees boating club that will be going up this weekend. My boat is a white Bermuda runabout, with the name CHOPPER and a shark picture on the side of the boat. I've included a photo so you have an idea what to look out for.

Thanks

Glenn
