North East NSW Impoundment Bass

[flairj]

OK, having moved temporarily from SE Qld to Yamba on the NSW north coast, I had hoped to start fishing the upper Clarence river for Bass. It seems mother nature had a different idea as you may have heard and I doubt that most of the rivers in this area will be worth fishing for at least a few weeks.

So I would like to know what dams are around the area. I know of Toonumbar Dam (closed due to flooding) and Clarrie Hall but I don't know of any others. I looked on Sweetwater but it doesn't list any more (none that I could find anyway).

I'm willing to travel a couple of hours to get to a dam as the rub is that I have plenty of time to fish at the moment but nowhere to do it. Come to think of it there is a dam west of here that has Cod and Goldens, so maybe let me know of any good dams for them too.

Thanks for any help, Josh

mate,Pindari,Copeton and Keepit(450km) would be the only other ones and no bass at either just caties,cod and yellabellies....

Clarrie and Toonumbah would be your best bets. Clarrie is a beautifull place and is worth the drive just for the day on the water alone.

Please keep in mind though that when all the rivers return to normal, Bass fishing is a no go due to the now in effect closed season. The closed season ends on Sept 1, and I guarantee you the Clarence will be very crowded then.

I miss NPD too.

Luckily the Bream are going very well on the walls here and have had a couple of hot hardbody bites with lots of fish and some around the 800gm mark.

Mate theres a Dam up around Uki, can't think of the name but it is suposed to be alright and the Uki Pub's a Pearler.

Don't forget Glennlyon up behind Tenterfield.
