This dam is located below the owner’s cottage near the Dirt Road, it was built when Noel and Eve first purchased the farm in the late 1980s. The dam was initially stocked with trout but over the years the bass took over. We have drained the dam in recent years and have decided to reintroduce trout into its waters. The first stocking took place in 2013 when we introduced 100 x 10 inch rainbows into it. With a fair amount of weed cover in the dam, it can be a challenge to get your fly in the right place but we are confident that we will be seeing some trophy trout come out of it in a few years’ time. Please ensure all fish are handled correctly and that your hands are wet when handling trout. Please leave all gates as you found them when walking to the dams. When fishing in Sassy Dam please respect guests in the cottages located near the water.
