Title: Brisbane River Yellas
Post by: Novice on May 22, 2011, 08:32:08 PM: What are the chances?

Two Yellas caught exactly 2 weeks apart , from the same snag , being the same body length !! Surprising in these have been my only Yellas since the Brisbane river Bass turkey shoot began .

And are they the same race/strain of Golden perch?

Cheers,
Dave.

Species stocked upstream are Murray Darling strain Golden Perch. The differences are just individual fish, just like people eg, I'm a superbly hansom fellow of perfect proportions where others may not be so good looking. ::) :P
Actually the 2nd fish looks like it's had some fin damage, possibly at hatchery stage of its life.

Cheers,
