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. \nLocation\nGlenlyon 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. \nAccommodation\nSouthern 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.

The dam is now up over 10% so there is much more area to explore. \nFor more information have a chat to Ross Williamson on 0407 157 870 send him an email at ross@climaxaus.com\nSo make a trip of it and come for the weekend or a week and socialise with our club and others who come along.
