We think that fishing is not permitted in Springfield Lake, although nobody seems to have followed it through.http://www.sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Forum/index.php/topic,5667.15.html
I think if you're going to do it, or if you are doing it, a good idea would be to keep it quiet. I'm sure the blokes you saw don't really want someone running around narking them in. Coming onto a public website and asking someone to admit to doing what may be illegal, albeit harmless, behaviour is a bit much isn't it?
Today at 8:45 AMThompson, MarkTo MeSheila IrelandToday at 9:54 AMHello Mr Kennedy, Thank you for your note regarding fishing in the lakes at Springfield Lakes. Please note the following: 1. Unfortunately fishing is not permitted in any of the lakes. This stance (which is unlikely to be changed whilst Lend Lease remains responsible for the water bodies) is taken for a number of reasons, including:· To protect the resident fish population from depletion· To discourage residents from stocking the lake with fish of their own choosing (e.g. non-natives), which may upset the balance of the ecosystem· Experience in the past here and elsewhere has shown that less considerate anglers carelessly discard their used line, bait etc around the lake, which then become both an eyesore and a hazard for wildlife2. Spring Lake was stocked with golden perch fingerlings in late 2009.3. In an extensive fish survey carried out in 2010, no tilapia were found amongst the 2103 fish caught.
