CAA normally doesn’t provide advertisements (except for recognising our tackle shop supporters, especially when we get mate’s rates for raffle prize acquisition) but this post is mainly an announcement rather than advertisement. There was some sad news when we heard Tumut River Brewing Company was going out of business. It has often been a Saturday evening option in our annual Tumut event; next year 16-18 May (thanks Stefan).

The good news now is they are reopening! https://the-riotact.com/tumut-river-brewing-co-to-reopen-after-former-staff-buy-up/830286 so we may be OK this year after all.

Next Meeting

13 Nov – Claude has received confirmation from Nathan that he will talk at the next meeting on his recent trip to Christmas Island. Moreover, it will be at Boss Outdoors rather than the Raiders, and Nathan will put on a sausage sizzle. Folk should arrive at 6:45-7:00 to participate. If interstate members would like to Zoom in, this might be possible but they need to contact us. Otherwise, I’ll be looking to record the talk via video for later access.

Next Activities

15-18 Nov Tuross with Ryan. Remember that this event decides our Saltwater Trophy.

27 Nov Fly tying via Zoom 7:30 – Wulff variations led by BJ. Materials list will appear elsewhere in news in due course.

A full report in next Nov 2024 Newsletter, but on our way home we did strike a problem.

Goodonya team, especially Owen with the handsaw and Claude’s skilful driving.

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.

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.

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:

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

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
