Carcoar
Dam
This is a very pretty dam
located just of the Mid Western Highway near Blayney. The dam is filled
by the Belubula River which is a good fishery in its own right. The dam
supplies water for irrigation.
The most common catch is the pesky redfin perch which are found in the
dam in very large numbers. The best way to catch redfin is by jigging
or trolling/casting with blades, spinnerbaits and lipless crankbaits
around drop offs. Redfin are good eating and if caught should not be
returned to the water as they are a major pest in the local waterways.
There are also Rainbow
Trout , Golden Perch, Murray Cod and Silver Perch. Trolling along the old creek line with a
downrigger close to the bottom works very well for native fish. Target
trout by casting or trolling yellow or pink winged tassie devils or use
powerbait on a light leader from the bank.
Boating and camping at the dam
are permitted.
