Lake Barrington gets some big rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon

Today (8 July 2014) the Inland Fisheries Service stocked some big fish into Lake Barrington. The fish were kindly donated by Springfield Fisheries and some were over five kilograms in weight.
There were 225 Atlantic salmon ranging between four and five kilograms and 400 rainbow trout ranging between two and three kilograms stocked into the lake today.
Anglers are reminded that there is a total daily bag limit of five fish. The minimum size is 300 mm in length but no more than two fish can be taken over 500 mm in length. The previous limit was two fish over 600 mm , note this change that will apply to all lakes that had the previous 600 mm limit.
