Fishing action set to heat up
Glenlyon Dam

A S you read this month’s arti- cle we hope to see access to all states
cod mums and dads to feed up for the next sea- son’s breeding format.
we will be able to travel to Tenterfield via Min- goola Station Rd for the first time in three and a half months.
No gates, no bollards and closed season on the Queensland side of the border finished for this year.
Fishing-wise – well, it will pick up as the weather warms up.
At the time of writ- ing, storage at Glenlyon Dam was at 15 per- cent capacity, with cod sightings all through the dam over the past two months – it has been good to see.

I will contact those on our research team to advise the date, once it’s set.
Meanwhile, for fish- ers such as myself who love to use a canoe on the rivers, it will be the end of November in NSW before that takes place for me.
And it is still closed season south of the bor- der.
