The Fred Haigh Dam (also called Monduran Dam) was constructed across the Kolan River in 1978 creating Lake Monduran.
When full Lake Monduran has a surface area of 5340 hectares, a capacity of 586 000 mega litres at an average depth of 11 meters.
Fishing
Fish species stocked into Lake Monduran include Australian Bass, Barramundi Golden Perch, Saratoga, Silver Perch and Sooty Grunter however the Barra and Bass are the real drawcards. The Sooty Grunter, Silver Perch, Saratoga and Golden Perch seem to have not established however the occasional capture is recorded.
There is a breeding population of Fork-Tailed Catfish present which can dominate captures at times here as well as Eels, Tandans, Snub Nosed Gar & Spangled Perch.
* A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in Lake Monduran / Fred Haigh Dam.
