Been there a few times and it is really good. No powerboats allowed but there is excellent structure from the shore, and the only tricky bit is that the water is crystel clear. Finesse baits Jnr flukes work really well, The bass are all around 1-2 pounds, but i have caught bigger up to 2.5kgs perviously. Do fish the bank infrom of the hotel in the LATE afternoon and you are sure to catch fish, during midday it can be VERY slow.

Good luck, it is really worth a visit

Hi Guy's

Dagama dam has some big fish in it.

It is a difficult dam to fish, good baits to use is a chartruese and white spinnerbait, Suspending lavender shad, tiny torpedo, dying flutter and the best I have found there was a tequila sunrise powerworm fished texas rig.

The inlets across the banks from the Hotel have nice dropoffs and there is also an old quarry. Fish the trees at the inlet going to the road side also, plenty of big rocks there with the river channel.

Look for baitfish and u will have a ball.
