Copeton Dam Foreshore

Copeton Dam Foreshore in Inverell, NSW, offers a prime freshwater fishing experience for those keen on landing some impressive Murray Cod and Golden Perch. The serene surroundings of this expansive lake create a perfect backdrop for anglers, especially during dawn and dusk when fish tend to be more active. Overcast days can also enhance your chances, as low light conditions often stimulate feeding behaviour. Shore-based fishing allows for a relaxed approach, whether you're bait fishing or trying your luck with lures. Keep an eye on the wind direction, as it can significantly affect water conditions and, consequently, fish activity. With a mix of Silver Perch and Redfin also in the waters, there’s plenty to entice anglers of all skill levels. Just be mindful of your footing along the shoreline, as the terrain can be uneven in places.
