2011-12 Season Opening Angler Notifications and Reminders
The new season starts on Saturday 6 August and the Inland Fisheries Service has some important advice and reminder to anglers. These include a general boating and angler safety warning due to high lake levels and river flows; a recommendation to avoid using the Pumphouse Bay boat ramp at Arthurs Lake due to the high lake level; a recommendation by Hydro Tasmania to campers at Jonah Bay to bring their own portable toilet; a warning to boaters at Lake Crescent to keep a look-out for flags marking submerged carp infrastructure; a reminder about the restricted opening hours from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset at Brushy Lagoon and Craigbourne Dam, and the boom gate opening hours at Huntsman Dam (7am-5pm); advice that construction work will begin on 8 August at the Four Springs Lake boat ramp; and advice that the boom gate to the Western Lakes will remain closed until September-October; and a final reminder to anglers that a number of new regulations were introduced this season and to read the new season’s Fishing Code.
