Latest Snowy Hydro 2.0 Issue
Seems Snowy 2.0 is seeking to avoid one required step in the approval chain. They are seeking to get exemption from a review of its value for money.
I wonder if the departure of Malcolm Turnbull will also have an impact.
For those who need a broad description of the project, you might read this from the ABC.
For those new to this matter, trout anglers are concerned about the potential to impact on trout in Lake Tantangara (and possibly elsewhere). This includes to potential for redfin to be pumped up to Tantangara from Talbingo and predate on trout. Monaro Acclimatisation Society is negotiating remedial action with Snowy Hydro.

“Bass Stop” – Luke has had Some Luck with Bass
Got the following from Luke:
On my way back from the coast, I decided up pull up for break and have a quick flick on the river at a particularly ‘fishy’ looking pool. I was lucky enough to land 3 bass, all around the 30cm mark and dropped a couple more. I could only stay for half an hour so I’m definitely keen to get back there and spend some more time exploring the area.
Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council – Meeting 10 minutes – Update
Update on Lake Wallace progress.
These have arrived via Steve. Two items piqued my interest:
- Seems NSW anglers have similar access rights to water as those found in NZ … I will await with interest to see what that really means. Much has been said to me about the “Queen’s Chain” alongside rivers in NZ.
- Chair of RFNSW is to “write to Snowy Monaro Regional Council about facilitating opportunities for recreational fishing access and stocking Trout at Lake Wallace near Nimmitabel.” There has been a response already – unfortunately not positive. Steve assures us that MAS is still on the case.

Vale Dr Bryan Pratt
It is with sadness that we have received news of Bryan’s passing.
Bryan was a long term member and ongoing supporter of Canberra Anglers. He served as president about 50 years ago and spoke about our second decade during our 60th anniversary dinner. CAA granted life membership in 2013 – a photo of him receiving the certificate is in the Sep 2013 Burley Line . A tribute piece is in the Canberra Times.
Bryan was a noted raconteur and his stories and ready advice will be sorely missed.
