WHAT a difference a week can make at Cressbrook.

STILL some great fishing to be had at Leslie as well.
The main locations have been the wash pool or the old creek bed that runs towards the dam wall.
Blades have been the lure anglers’ choice again, as well as trolling deep hard bodies along the buoy line which has accounted for some great cod and yellowbelly.

WITH the Dam receiving very little rain lately it is making the fishing quite hard. as the water level drops the fishing gets tougher.
