There have been quite a few cod on the move over the past week in the western rivers and dams.

GLENLYON DAM
Glenlyon fished well for cod last weekend with the biggest around 38lb. A few smaller cod were also taken mainly on lures, but the yellowbelly unfortunately were hard work.

There have been a few reasonable cod taken around St George and Surat but there were quite a few under-size cod mixed in with them so make sure you check for the minimum size 60 centimetres. A few reasonable yellowbelly have been taken in the same area, mainly on live bait.
