I just did the survey, only took a minute. I put alot of emphasis on fishing in lakes Somerset & Wivenhoe & access to the Brisbane River. Also a good idea to mention a canoe trail on the Stanley River if you're doing the survey.

Your right Fitzy the 5 mins doing this survey might help the fishing of tomorrow and beyond ??

Yep filled it on - my additional comments as follows -

Need access to the top end of Somerset dam for the public, either open up access to Runges road, (currently used Kilcoy fishing club only) or build a canoe / kayak launching facility at the bridge at villeneuve. An access point further up the stanley river so trips can be made one way (like a canoe trail)

Done 

Do we know if the results of this survey are going to be published?  It would be interesting to see.
