Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch is keen to record any carp sightings (past or present) in any river or creek in the Upper Murrumbidgee catchment via the feral fish scan portal.  If you have seen any carp sightings and can remember the date please log it!

Logging carp sightings is easy via the website www.feralscan.org.au/feralfishscan/uppermurrumbidgee

or the app.  Download the free app by searching ‘feral fish scan’ in the app store (Apple or Android).

The new stock of CAA stickers has arrived. One sticker will be issued free to new members.  Any members who would like to purchase extra stickers will find them available from Treas or Sec for a donation of $2.00.

There is still talk of an informal competition for photos showing our sticker in unusual locales.

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.
