2021 Glenlyon Murray Cod Trip
Friday 4th November to Friday 11th November 2022
Annually Southern Brisbane Sportfishing Club Inc. members travel to Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park for a week social fishing and have extended an invite to all ANSA members to tagalong.
There are cabins and camping options at Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park and you can come along for the week or a few days of social fishing, targeting the mighty Murray Cod and the gorgeous Golden Perch.
Bragging rights for the biggest fish are up for grabs. Get together for chats around the cabin BBQ and perhaps share an ale or two.
Tuesday the 8th will be the full moon. Fishing under the full moon will offer something different as the time between sundown and before the moon comes up can be very productive and also the opportunity to do some night fishing. Glenlyon Dam is only 324 kms from Beenleigh.

STATEWIDE SPECIES CHALLENGE
2021-05-01 06:00 - 2021-05-03 18:00
The Statewide Species Challenge is an Annual Event Held over the May Long Weekend.
Registration: No formal registration is required and the event is FREE to all QLD Sportfishers members!
AIM:
The QLD Sportfishers Species Challenge is an event that reflects the fundamental challenge of fishing, that being the challenge of fisherman vs fish. The Challenge is instituted so that Anglers can join and fish together across Queensland over the same weekend. The only objective is catch as many different species from the QLD Sportfishers species list as possible in two days.
This is the perfect event for kids and anglers seeking to challenge themselves beyond the traditional “catch the biggest/most fish”.
REGISTRATION:
All members of QLD Sportfishers are eligible to fish the challenge. Non-members may be granted temporary membership for the event but are required to pay a temporary membership fee. Contact QLD Sportfishers for more info. QLD Sportfishers Contacts
BOUNDARYS:
All fishing is to be conducted in Queensland waters.
HOURS OF EVENT:
The Challenge commences at 6:00am on the Saturday and concludes at 6:00pm Monday (entries to be completed by midnight Monday).
TACKLE AND METHODS:
Any sportfishing tackle and/or method that includes a fishing line may be utilised.
NOTIFICATION OF CATCH:
Fish must be entered using the QLD Sportfishers online ENTRY FORM and must be submitted before the official finish time of the event.
SCORING:
Anglers receive one point for every different species they register during the challenge. Anglers need to get a quick photo of the fish (preferably with the angler) for identification. Anglers who wish to also be eligible for other QLD Sportfishers competitions must also provide a photo of their fish on an appropriate measuring device. Fish may be kept or released; all fish not meeting legal requirements must be release unharmed as quickly as possible.
PHOTOGRAPHS:
All participants agree that any photos they provide may be used on social media updates for the event and in QLD Sportfishers promotional materials.
ELIGIBLE SPECIES:
Only those species listed on the QLD Sportfishers online Entry Form are eligible. To assist anglers a copy of the general QLD Sportfishers eligible species can be found at www.ansaqld.com.au/competitions/eligible-species-list
PRESENTATION OF AWARDS:
The Challenge is essentially a social event and not a hard-fought competition. It is recognized however that those that meet the Challenge deserve recognition by their peers and so each category winner will receive a special Species Challenge commemorative lure; or an award of similar stature.
The major prize winner will walk away with a fantastic prize and will be selected by random draw from all participants who enter a fish during the challenge.
Awards shall be for the following:
a) Individual Senior Male.
b) Individual Senior Female.
c) Individual Junior (10-16yrs)
d) Individual Sub-Junior (<10yrs)
Official notification of the winning anglers and clubs will be posted on the QLD Sportfishers website and/or Facebook page.

2020-11-13 - 2020-11-20 | Glenlyon Dam, Glenlyon Dam Road, Glenlyon, Queensland, 4380, Australia
Southern Brisbane Sportfishing Club Inc invites other Queensland Sportfishers members to their iconic Trip to Glenlyon Dam.

What’s special
Glenlyon Dam is stocked by the Glenlyon Dam Fish Restocking Group Inc. The dam is stocked with golden perch, Murray cod and silver perch. In 2017/18, 146,300 golden perch were stocked from SIPS permit sales. A total of 1,911,563 golden perch, 57,495 Murray cod and 94,666 silver perch have been stocked in Glenlyon Dam from SIPS. The dam is well known for its big Murray cod.
Location
Glenlyon Dam is located approximately an hours drive south west of Stanthorpe. The dam is popular for fishing with no vessel type restrictions occurring on the dam. Boats can be hired from the Glenlyon Dam Tourist Park. The tourist park also offers cabins, powered sites and unpowered sites. The facilities at the park include toilets, showers, picnic tables, barbeques, playground and a kiosk with supplies.
Accommodation
Southern Brisbane Sportfishing Club has 3 cabins booked for its members. Each will hold a maximum of 4 persons per cabin (I double and 3 high bunk beds. More realistically is 2-3 per cabin. Each cabin is air conditioned with a small fridge, 2 burner hot plate, electric frypan, jug and toaster. The shower and toilet block is a short walk away. The cabins cost will be approx. $100.00 per night and a small upright freezer can be got for a nominal fee to store fillets. www.glenlyondamtouristpark.com.au
What to bring if you are going to stay in Cabins
Bedding – blankets, sheets or sleeping bag and pillow
Utensils – Plates, cup, knives, forks and cooking utensils.
Food and drinks – bring enough to last your stay as the nearest supplies are approximately 70 km away. The store at the park sell basic items as well as bread, fuel, gas and ice. They also stock a good selection of lures and selected fishing tackle. For information on other items they stock ring (02) 6737 5266.
Portable fridge or esky – For your drinks as the fridge is barely big enough for your food. A power board is also helpful.
Gas BBQ – There is a wood fired BBQ available but a small gas BBQ would be an advantage.
Chair – Somewhere to park at night while socialising around the fire.
Clothes – Storms are active at this time of year at Glenlyon so do not forget your wet weather gear. The night can become cool, so a jacket will be handy and of course bring a towel and toiletries.
Dam Levels and Fishing
The club fished at about the same time in 2019 when the dam was down at 3-4% and it was still productive. The dam is now up over 10% so there is much more area to explore.
For more information have a chat to Ross Williamson on 0407 157 870 send him an email at ross@climaxaus.com
So make a trip of it and come for the weekend or a week and socialise with our club and others who come along.
