Rainbow stocking
This week we stocked three important fisheries with large Rainbow trout averaging 5kg. The waters stocked are Craigbourne dam, Brushy Lagoon and Lake Kara. Each water received 300 fish each and will provide excellent fishing in and compliment many of our other popular fisheries that are performing very well.
Special thanks go to Huon Aquaculture and Springfield Fisheries for making these fish available. If there is an opportunity to access more surplus fish from any of the commercial hatcheries we will happily look at stocking again prior to Christmas with salmon or rainbow trout if the conditions are favourable. We avoid stocking these domestic fish into lakes when the weather becomes too hot over summer with elevated water temperatures that may impact on their welfare.
