Fishing

Golden Perch, Silver Perch and Murray Cod, Spangled Perch and Eel-Tailed Catfish. Golden Perch dominate most catches for lure/fly anglers, while Silver Perch and Eel-Tailed Catfish (dewfish) are more of a bait fishing prospect. A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in this dam.

Boating

Connolly Dam is an "Electric only" impoundment (outboards must be taken off) meaning only electric or manually powered craft may be used. Only members of the Warwick District Recreational Fish Stocking Association 'WDRFSA' can take craft on the waterway, and only on weekends between sunrise and sunset. WDRFSA memberships are available from the caretaker at the dam currently costing $10. There is no boat ramp but there are many ideal locations around the dam to launch a boat. You must show your WDRFSA card to the caretaker if you're taking a craft on the water

Camping

No Camping is permitted at Connolly Dam. Toilets are provided at the lookout adjacent to dam wall.
