Ken A Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 A comprehensive new guide to inland fishing in NSW is set to become the new “bible” for freshwater recreational fishers. A Guide to Stocked Lakes and Dams in NSW was jointly produced by the Department of Primary Industries and the Australian Fishing Network (AFN) - Australia’s largest publisher and distributor of fishing magazines and books. The guide, which was launched at the Fishing Show and Outdoors Expo at Sydney Olympic Park today, detailed the inland waterways which have benefited from the State Government’s fish stocking program. This is the first time such a guide has been produced, and it is destined to become an essential item in every freshwater anglers’ tacklebox. It outlines valuable information for both local and visiting anglers. It covers 93 water bodies across the state and provides details on local facilities, the size of each waterbody, accommodation, stocking history, fish species and fishing and boating information. It has also been designed as an educational tool with information on pest species, size and bag limits, and general fishing rules. More than 30 million trout, salmon, Australian bass, Murray cod, golden perch and silver perch have been released in NSW over the past four years, with many of these fish going into freshwater dams and lakes listed within the guide. A Guide to Stocked Lakes and Dams in NSW was funded through the Freshwater Recreational Fishing Trust, which invests funds from the sale of recreational fishing licences into a range of projects to improve fishing, including fish stocking. The book costs $24.95 and will be available through the DPI website, www.fisheries.nsw.gov.au, and Australian Fishing Network agent stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
