Busy time as brown trout are stocked out into several key fisheries
‎Wednesday, ‎5 ‎June ‎2013, Tasmania Inland Fisheries Service

As is usual for this time of year the IFS has been transferring brown trout from the spawning run at Liawenee to other waters throughout the state.

The biggest transfers have been completed at Four Springs Lake (2,000 stripped and adipose clipped) and Bradys Lake (4,800) as well as smaller numbers into the Nineteen Lagoons waters and north west rivers, the Mersey River (300) and River Leven (300).

There are still some fisheries that are to be completed such as Tooms Lake, Brushy Lagoon and Craigbourne Dam.  Rain is needed to get a further run of fish at Great Lake and Arthurs Lake before more transfers can occur.
