Cressbrook Dam

[woolybugger]

Hi all,

I am going to take the old man to Lake Cressbrook in the near future, however neither of us have bee there before.

Was wondering if anyone out there had any info on the place ie how to get there, can you launch a boat due to the low water levels and as we enjoy fly fishing andcasting lures, can anyone point us in the right direction to start fishing etc.

I understand that people have their secret x spots which is fair enough but any info would be highly appreciated. Purely catch and release!

Cheers.

Does anyone know how the water level is looking after the rain we had, or did Cressy miss out again. Cheers Brett
