Don't think closed season applies , no flow from other dams , and as for the stocking of the lakes .. Tight lipped for now , but they are healthy

Closed season applies to all waters in Qld with exception of specifically named lakes, so definately applies to Springfield lakes & Forrest Lake, just so you're aware, even though these are obviously stocked fish.

Anyhow, it's a silly piece of legislation that is in desperate need of fixing the issues. Thanks for the report.  :thumb

Actually, aren't Springfield & Forrest lakes are privately owned? If so, the closed season doesn't apply.  :tick

Yes you are allowed to paddle on all lakes. Asked permission in the early days to road test new installs on sounders and was given the OK.

The new lake on Opposum Creek actually have a kayak launch spot.

The no fishing signs were put up by a local resident who had a issue with people leaving bags of bait around the lake ( idiots) .. So don't worry about the signs they mean nothing.
