Email dramas
Our email server has been blacklisted by hotmail.com, live.com and outlook.com ie the Microsoft services.
Anyone with an email address on those servers will likely not receive emails from anyone with an address that ends “@canberra-anglers.asn.au”.
We are working to restore services but are not confident. At this point other services like gmail, yahoo and internet providers don’t seem to be effected.
Images of Flies
Owen showed me this the other day. It is three pages of images of flies (don’t believe the prices as the material is quite old) and we thought a useful resource for newcomers.
I’ll also provide a link to this in our ‘useful links‘ page
October 2024 Burley Line (Issue 205)
Cover photo shows Jayden’s son Harrison showing off his catch at the recent Gaden Hatchery kid’s workshop – more on this later.
Many thanks to Owen who sent me his photo during his trip to Sri Lanka – I couldn’t figure out which one was him. Also, thanks to Randy for his report from the US.
Our premier public event with off without a hitch, though a little less wind would have been handy. Some new members have signed up and look keen. Also had a number of non-financial members rejoin the fold. If you haven’t paid up your subscriptions for 2024-25, remember that you aren’t covered by our public liability insurance – please progress payments.
Greg S has been busy trawling the web for interesting fishy stuff and quite a large offering this month – thanks.
If you are submitting an article, it would make it a little easier for me if you use the template – no real worries if you don’t.
More Activities Open to the Public at Gaden Hatchery
Jayden told me yesterday about a kid’s workshop at Gaden this Sunday. I wondered whether he was referring to the Go Fishing/Open Day on Sun 12 Oct, but no …
After being constrained due to their major construction work, Gaden has burst forth with activities open to the public. There’s a whole new bunch advertised here focussed on women and kids https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/fishing-workshops/kids

Gaden Trout Hatchery Rebuild
MAS has passed around this presentation by Gaden’s Manager Mitch Elkins. Some really innovative stuff going on, and this is before the Snowy Hydro 2.0 growout facility is built.
National Carp Control Plan
I got an email from a Canberra fishing acquaintance.
I viewed a Webinar back at the beginning of May titled ‘Webinar: the next phase for carp biocontrol’.
Not sure if you have viewed it, but thought I’d pass it on given the ongoing interest from NSWCFA et al re carp control.
Link to site where Webinar is accessible:
https://www.agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-trade/pests-diseases-weeds/pest-animals-and-weeds/national-carp-control-plan
I note that identified priority actions include further research work to determine the susceptibility of non target species including Rainbow Trout, along with native species, and species in marine environments.
Cheers

Tiger Trout Research
At the NSWCFA OGM today the meeting discussed a report in relation to stocking of Tiger Trout into various waters. DPI have been conducting a trial of stocking Tiger Trout into waters where trout are being predated upon by redfin. The Tiger Trout are envisaged to be less susceptible to predation by redfin, but also to contribute to control of redfin by their own predation of the redfin pest.
NSWCFA are seeking advice from DPI on their observations, however seek your assistance in a piece of ‘citizen science’. Would seek observations by you on any evidence of Tiger Trout predating on redfin from any Tiger Trout you might take home.
The Tiger Trout experiment has been on for a while now. Lake Lyell, Thompson Creek Dam and Lake Wallace (Lithgow version) have received them already
