hi all
do you catch redclaw and yella belly at atkinson dam

In 11 years on this forum I cannot recall one report coming from Atkinson Dam.

I think it is a dam that attracts a lot of power boats and skiers and jet skiers. I don't think it is stocked either.
Probably a fair chance of red claw as most SEQ dams seem to hold them.

It has been stocked with Yellas and silver perch. It got really dry in 2012. There would be redclaw in there for sure.

Aitkinsons was removed from the sip list when it was empty .

I am uncertain if Somerset and Wivenhoe or Brisbane Valley anglers used to stock it.

It is a irrigation supply dam and the  local irrigators draw it down to very low levels it has been at around 10% for the last year and the last time it was full was around 2012.

When it has water in it it is very popular with waterskiers.

Cheers
