Further to our recent post on trials of larger trout being stocked. I’ve received the following advice from DPI:

DPI Fisheries is releasing larger Rainbow Trout into selected waters to combat the negative effects of Redfin predation. We are requesting all information from recaptured tagged fish to be submitted via our online recapture form at http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/taggedrecapture. This information helps determine growth rates and the sufficient size class capable of avoiding Redfin predation.

Here is a flyer with more information including the reward.

To see a full list of stocking sites in NSW, our interactive map can be accessed at: https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/stocking

Simply click on any of the green (River) or red (Impoundment) icons and the historical stocking data for each species will be displayed on a graph.

The waters where the tagged trout have been released are currently:

Khancoban Pondage
Oberon Dam
Lake Wallace (Wallerawang not Nimmitabel)
Lake Lyell
Carcoar Dam
Fish River
Duckmaloi River

If you didn’t get there before now to catch a bargain, sorry you’ve missed the boat. Anglers Art is now officially closed.

CAA has had a long relationship with the late Dr Bryan Pratt not least due to his being a long term President and CAA Life Member but also the shop’s support to the club. We will miss their connection to CAA.

We wish Doris well for the future.

DPI are conducting more trials into stocking with larger (20cm) yearlings. This time into the Duckmaloi and Fish Rivers in the Blue Mountains. Read more on their Facebook site. (Membership of Facebook unnecessary).

The word I got that it will close finally at the end of Jun is incorrect, but time remains short. Best get in before they do close. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)

Just dropped in myself today to find quite a bit still on the shelves, including fly tying material and flies. As Lyall remarked earlier “you might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.”

Got this from Antia – urgent RSVP will be required (the notice says 2 day leadtime but that means today 🙄, I hope they will take late bookings).

The session is all about endangered plant species and associated citizen science. Mornos and soup for lunch provided.

I hear the shop will close finally at the end of Jun. Best get in before then. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)

Lyall previously advised:

At The Angler’s Art in Phillip they have put together grab bags of fly tying material at fifty percent off the usual prices and all fly lines at bargain prices. You will regret it if you don’t get these bargains NOW.

You might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.

Nathan has posted a 7 minute video on the shop’s Facebook page, but you should be able to see it without being a Facebook user.

Looks very swish and CAA fly tying may need to lift its game to keep up 😀
