Texas, Inglewood

[Aaron H]

Ok my plans of going to Chinchilla for the long weekend have been soured. After some investigating have come to the conclusion that this drought really sucks and as the song goes \"Way out west where the rain don't fall\" is seriously hampering my efforts to go fishing for yellas in an outback river:( . So am now turning my attention to the Texas, inglewood area and was wondering if anyone has fished the Dumaresq river. The Macintyre brook is my back up plan if I can't find any good spots at Texas, as I was only down there a couple of months back and it was nearly full. Any info would be greatly appreciated guys

Mate if your going that far over, you could do Glenlyon, it is only about 30k out of Texas.

Ray will be there from mid next week for 9 days, so he will be able to give you a up to date report!

I was thinking that mate, but one thing that annoys me on lakes is water skiers. I can be a bad tempered bugger at the best of times and if they come over and start annoying me it can get a bit heated, long weekends I prefer to go where its a bit quieter but will be interested to hear his reports as Leslie, Glenlyon and Coolmunda are all the last resorts if I cant get a river spot.

Glenlyon you fish the snags, so if the skiers are close enough, it would be entertaining!

Ahh ok, have never been there so not to sure of the lake structure but that sounds promising, I only have an electric motor on my tinny are they far from where u can launch

Most of the regular spots at glenlyon would be out of range for an electric but there are plenty of weed beds close to the ramp which may be productive. I would be thinking of the dumeresq or mackintyre brook there are quite a few stock reserves that you can camp on right at the rivers edge. Give Brian Dare at the glenlyon van park a ring and he will fill you in with all the local info as far down as gundy. Another helpfull source of info is the boys at mullett gut marine in toowoomba.

And if you are at glenlyon between 10th to the 17th we are in cabin 4 and have a spare bed.

Thanks Ray, is Brian Dare the fella that writes for BNB magazine?

[Feral]

Yep he sure is, also manages the caravan park at Glenlyon, and is heavily involved in the local Murray River cod stocking both in the dam and the local rivers.
