Crosslands reserve - Flatties

[HawkesburyParadise]

I've been keen on catching fish at Crosslands at the botton of Hornsby for some time now.

2 outings recently both succesful with at least 1 fish.

Tide: rising

Bait: Salted blue bait

Summary:

Both caught on retrieves in shallows.

I donated 1 to some kids camping and the other was released.

I was a bit worried about the sewage plant at Hornsby. However, it turns out the plan doesn't release sewage except for heavy rain. Go figure!

Nice work Manish. I have never caught anything at Crossroads, so well done!

Good to have a local spot close to home. Hit it hard and unlock its secrets:

I advise not to eat or give away any fish caught from Berowra creek at Crosslands. Not only due to contamination from the sewage treatment plants discharge upstream but leaching of illegally dumped and filled land with toxic hospital waste unable to be cleaned up that finds it way into various waterways that flow into Berowra creek. There have been various seriously contaminated sites discovered with cytotoxic hospital waste that have been covered up by authorities. Don't trust the cleanliness of any stream that is in the greater Sydney catchment area.
