Cressbrook Meet & Greet 8/9th March

[sav]

I'll be at Cressy opening time on Sat morning (dam - not the pub). Have a few hours fish then drop over to the camp spot for brunch. Keep an eye out for a blue suzuki - hard top.
Keep a spot for me; Cragie plus one more - we'll sleep anywhere.
See you all there.

HI, Re the licence, the licence i filled out today, only state 25 sip areas, and cressbrook wasnt on it , so i rang the fisheries, and asked what the go was re licence.
They came back, saying if the impoundment wasnt one of the 25 you didnt need a licence.
So some one better get their act together, or someone in the near future is going to get caught out.
That was the reason i stated earlier, re no licence needed, and that was strait from fisheries mouth.
I did purchase one. just to cover my ass.
Cant anyone explain the above.
thanks
regards

Hi Webby,

re Licence for Cressbrook no its not on the Sips but a licence must be obtained from the ranger at the dam or one of the tackle shops in Toowoomba they are also available from the Shell servo on the way to the dam from Toowoomba at Highfields. This dam is not on the Sip scheme but is owned by the Toowoomba City Council and this is where the different permit is required Cooby Dam is the same.

Regards,

Cressbrook dam is on the sip permit system even though its name isnt on the forms yet. It was put on there a couple of months ago when the last lot of laws were decided. It will probably be on there when the next lot is printed. The old ones you buy off the ranger are not available anymore unless you have a yearly one that is still valid. SO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS A SIP PERMIT OR YOU COULD GET A FINE!!!

There used to be a permit that you required to fish just Cooby and Cressbrook dams.

Just recently that was scraped and Cooby, Cressbrook, Glenlyon, and Callide were put onto the SIP scheme.

We asked Peter Taylor at Mullet Gut here in toowoomba and he gave us a SIP to fish cooby and cressbrook.

This is just my understanding.

Cheers Matt
