New fishing platform on Mitchell River

New fishing platform on Mitchell River

Recreational anglers now have better access to the Mitchell River following the installation of a new fishing platform at Wy Yung near Bairnsdale.

The platform was funded by recreational licence fees and has improved opportunities for anglers of all abilities at one of the river’s most popular fishing spots.

With the support of the Wy Yung Angling Club, the East Gippsland Shire Council used a grant of $44,858 from the Recreational Fishing Licence Grants Program to design and construct the platform.

Anglers had found access to this section of the river difficult to negotiate in the past. The platform has overcome what was uneven and slippery bank access and has been designed to help shore-based anglers enjoy clear casting to open water in pursuit of estuarine species such as bream and mullet.

The platform will also help protect surrounding vegetation and prevent further erosion of the river bank.

For more information about how fishing licence fees are improving fishing opportunities visit www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fishinggrants. The 2011/12 Recreational Fishing Grants Program for large grants between $5,001 and $100,000 are now open.
