Press Release: access to the Eucumbene River Brown Trout Spawning Run at Denison

The full release is available from CAA Secretary.  An extract is below:

On Wednesday 30 March 2016 the Monaro Acclimatisation Society Inc (MAS) hosted a meeting with anglers and representatives from Snowy Hydro, Kosciuszko National Park, NSW Fisheries, NSW Maritime and the Lake Eucumbene Chamber of Commerce to try and resolve the issue of continuing environmental degradation of the Eucumbene River banks at the Denison Campground near Providence Portal, NSW…

The meeting discussed all the issues and it was clear that all present wanted to see angler participation on the river continue, but the uncontrolled vehicle access could no longer be tolerated due to the damage being done…

The obvious thing to do Mr Samuels said was to develop a car park away from the river where anglers could park in safety.  This would stop the damage being done, but would also allow anglers to access the river with relative ease…

Mr Samuels said that the meeting resolved to progress the issue.  While it is not possible to do anything for this years run, he said, the intention was to have the matter resolved for the 2017 run.
