About Harvey Dam
Best tide state to fish Harvey Dam
This is a working irrigation dam, so the level moves through the year and the bank you fished in spring can be a mudflat by late summer. Cool, overcast days and low light are trout weather; bright summer heat pushes fish deep and hands the fishing to the redfin. The late-afternoon rise on warm spring days is the event locals plan around. After winter rain the tributary arms colour up first while the main basin stays workable, and soft banks are part of the deal.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Harvey Dam typically time sessions around the tide for rainbow trout, brown trout, redfin perch, and marron.
