The best resource listing restrictions is the Snowy Hydro webpage. eg, no access along Quarry Trail Road to the Western shore of Lake Tantangara.
The Snowy Hydro page links to the Future Generation Joint Venture schedule of large load transportation.
Claude led the way.

From BJ:
This is a couple of years old but I ran into a “ranger” when I walked down from Shephards Lookout entrance with rod in hand a few weeks ago.
They are restricting access while reforming the land use, but informally tolerating fisherman. However land use negotiations with Corkhills next door mean that the fence lines might become harder than they were on the north side of the river.
They’ll be building a water “park” access for the Gininderry residents.

Jason reports on his experience with a lightweight raft. Apologies, I should have uploaded before Feb Newsletter
Apologies, I should have uploaded into our ‘Gear‘ blog the report by Jason on his experience with a lightweight raft before first uploading Feb Newsletter. It is there now.
Seen at Tilba Tilba:
“If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles” More quotes from Doug Larson here.
The shift from December to January for our Jindabyne trip proved very successful. A huge report is enclosed. Also reported is Claude and BJ’s efforts in the Carp Capers – many thanks guys for the words and photos. Jason M has excelled again with two articles – his side trip after our Coastal Outing off shore to Montague Island, plus a quick review of his latest lightweight ‘canoe’ … looks more like a swimming ring to me 🙂
In preparation for those who might be loch style fishing (especially at our Jindy trip), Shaun has put this pointer up on our Facebook page. A talk by Tom Jarman.
Through our affiliation with the NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers, we are engaged with the RFANSW. Their first newsletter of 2021 (here) has its usual mix of salt and freshwater. Some interesting items:
The first of the new year has been released here
Topical items are:
We typically don’t have a January edition, (especially since I’ve never been able to convince an ex-Vice President to do a special Christmas Edition J). Nevertheless, I thought it particularly important this year. A chance to report on an enjoyable end of year barbeque catching up after a year of limited gatherings and a successful coast trip (well for everyone except me L). The ever reliable Jason M has produced reports on his aspect of the Coast trip, but he extended on to head on to Brogo where we missed out last month, plus provided some additional reporting on the Lake G outing which was run when the CAA Brogo event was cancelled. A prolific contributor to Burley Line and always appreciated.
Moreover, looking forwards, we have an unprecedented (if ever a word was overused recently that one would have to take the cake) two events in January – Claude’s carp caper and our ever popular Jindabyne trip – occurring before we even meet for the first time in 2021. Make sure you put them into the diary, and contact me if you have an interest in Jindy. We already have 12 members showing interest … and note there are only 14 beds. More information soon via email.
As I write this, President Claude is in Melbourne having his nasal passages probed by Dan Andrew’s medical staff and me having to cancel my planned trip to Terrigal later this week due to the Northern Beaches outbreak. How soon the COVID situation can resurge after success – and threaten the chances of a few of us planning a trip to NZ in April. As we have all agreed, 2020 has been an insane year, we can only hope things will feel more normal next year.
From me and my team of helpers, all the best for the festive season and hope to see you all in the new year.

” Alpine river guide Richard Swain showed Ms Ley through the landscape he grew up on
…
“Destruction is across the entire ecosystem,” Mr Swain, a Wiradjuri man, told AAP.
…
The horses also trampled sediment into creeks, which affected fish breeding, Mr Swain said.”
I wonder how real is this funding and will it be actually actioned given the KNP is a NSW state asset.
