Thompsons Creek Dam

Thompsons Creek Dam

Drive 4km out of Wallerawang on Pipers Flat Rd, turn left opposite the Wallerawang cemetery, into Willow Vale lane. Thommo’s as it is widely known to anglers is classified as a trophy dam which allows anglers to use lure and fly fishing methods only on this dam. There is also a maximum bag limit of two fish only per angler. No boats or flotation devices are permitted at Thompsons Creek dam. It is a 20 minute walk from the car park to access the shoreline of this dam.
Rainbow and brown trout are regularly caught in this dam. Casting spoons and winged styled lures from the shore of this dam are very productive throughout the year. Being able to work these long casting lures throughout the water column should result in success. The clear water at Thommo’s has made it very popular with fly anglers. Slowly walking the margins watching for fish to cast at, will quickly see the hours dissolve, very absorbing fishing indeed!
Late evening and the first couple of hours of darkness also is a great time to cast a fly during the warmer months. Good hatches of insects be it termites, midges or beetles often promotes a good evening rise of trout, with the mopping up continuing into the night.
