NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers has been seeking Minister Moriarty to expedite release of several Fisheries Action Plans. Whether this is just coincidence who is to say but the Minister has just announced the release of the Trout Cod Action Plan https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/about-us/media-centre/releases/2025/ministerial/threatened-native-trout-cod-recovery-underway-with-innovative-fish-breeding-and-stocking

Of interest, the Minister said “There was a lot of interest from recreational anglers who are supporting the recovery of Trout Cod and I am pleased to say that those hoping to go fishing for Trout Cod can do so at Talbingo Dam where a catch and release fishery has been developed.” … I’d hold off on that till we see Regulation changes.

The Action Plan itself is https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/1602216/Trout-Cod-Action-Plan.pdf
As a recognised stakeholder, NSWCFA will need to remain engaged, especially in respect to:
*mid term identification of two new riverine and one impoundment location
*minimise impact of non-native fish

We await release of the other Action Plans
