Rehabilitation + floods = nesting catfish

Recent work by Cabonne Shire Council to rehabilitate Molong Creek is creating ideal habitat for catfish wanting to nest.

Removing willows and resnagging has meant that recent floods have created scour pools, flushed sediment and cleared gravel beds – just what the catfish need for feeding and spawning habitat.

For more information about the Molong Creek Rehabilitation Project contact Warwick Doulman at Cabonne Shire Council on 02 6392 3247 or view the project summary:
