First Estuary Perch Stocking at Brogo Dam!

On 4 December DPI carried out its inaugural stocking of 10,000 Estuary Perch fingerlings into Brogo Dam. This is a fantastic initiative that will supplement the bass stocks already in the waterway and provide some exciting diversity to the sport fishing in the dam. A follow-up stocking is also planned in 2018. These great little fish should be catchable within the next couple of years and should prove to be an exciting new challenge for local anglers.
The EPs were bred locally at Narooma Aquaculture and were released with the help of the Far South Coast Bass Stocking Association.
Millions of fish are stocked each year into waterways across the state to improve recreational fishing in NSW. This is another great example of your licence fees at work!
