Danjera Dam is 20km west of New South Wales’ Nowra.
The dam was built in 1971 on Danjera Creek, a tributary of the Shoalhaven River.
Though only a relatively small dam at 90ha in area, it is a scenic spot and can fish well, making it popular.
The dam contains stocked bass and rainbow trout, and a natural stock of eels.
Most fishos target the bass, which often respond well to lures, especially in warm weather.
The rainbow trout take up the slack in cooler weather.
There are camping areas, toilets, barbecues, firewood, water and bins.
The dam is up to 30m deep, with an average depth of around 15m.
Only electric motors, sail or oar powered vessels are permitted, so it is a peaceful place to fish.
Here is a list of recommended tackle for freshwater fishing, including within stocked dams.
