Harvey Dam

Last time i was at harvey dam we tried various locations and tactics but we did not catch anything. Is the open water better near drop offs and sand banks or is fallen trees and logs.also it had been raining a few weeks and days before and the water level was high would this affect the fishing?

what locations (boat or landbased?) and what tactics? Then hopefully I can narrow down my advice.

I'll assume you have a freshwater fishing license also?

And you should be aware that Harvey Dam has a lure and fly fishing only restriction - no baits or burley allowed.

 

anywhere marked green on the map should be good land based
