This is a photo of Windemere Dam which provides water to Mudgee so that the town can irrigate all those vineyards. They dammed up the Cudgegong River back in 1984 to make the dam and somewhere down there under all that water is the old town of Cudgegong which was flooded in the process.
People love to go fishing in this dam because it was stocked with all sorts of fish including golden perch, Murray cod and silver perch. Catfish were indigenous to the Cudgegong River before it was dammed and you can still catch one here. Goldfish also swim here as do the odd Freshwater Blackfish.
Have you ever been fishing here? If so, what fish did you catch?
