The Effects of Rainfall and Temperature on a Monaro Stream

Freddy von Reibnitz originally published this paper in the Journal of the NSW Rod Fishers’ Society – a very prestigious and exclusive fishing club. The article was subsequently published in the Newsletter of the ACT Fly Fishers where I was able to read and appreciate the significant analytical work therein. It appears here for Canberra Anglers Association through Freddy’s generosity. I hope that others will benefit from the knowledge that has been extracted and presented here.

The analysis provides a mathematical and robust consideration of long term rainfall and air temperature data.  The findings are quite sobering to say the least.

The impact on the trout fishery is a major element of DPI and MAS research.  It is also instructive to consider some of the research into mitigation that the Victorian fisheries authorities are undertaking.
