Trout Cod were once widespread in southern tributaries of the Murray-Darling system, but have declined historically to a point where they are now listed as an endangered species.
NSW DPI has run a conservation stocking program for Trout Cod for over 20 years, resulting in the successful re-introduction of Trout Cod into areas where they had previously disappeared.
The Minister for Primary Industries is proposing to make an Order authorising recreational fishing for stocked Trout Cod in 9 NSW impoundments; similar to the existing recreational fishery for Silver Perch (another threatened species) stocked in NSW dams for many years to support recreational fishing.
The NSW government has announced it is accelerating the sale and closure of Crown roads (sometimes known as paper roads) which provide access to many recreational fishing locations. To do this they are changing some of the processes which publicise such sales and allow proper consultation with stakeholders. Please spend 5 minutes reading this so you understand how this urgent problem might affect your future fishing. At the end of this bulletin there are some suggestions on what you can do to stop this from going ahead.
Well another year and another series of Hobie fishing tournaments draws to an end, some may say the most sucessfull ever. Recently the Aussie team returned home from the Daiwa Hobie Kayak Fishing Worlds tournament with a couple of notable aussies in the top 10 and the rest placing well in a field full of great anglers.
No rest for the wicked though with the Daiwa Hobie Grand Final this weekend, held at the infamous Bemm River. Its going to be a hard fought affair with various techniques used in varying locations, with only one yakker pedaling away with the crown.
Parts of Lake Burley Griffin have been closed following a sewage leak at Yarralumla Bay yesterday. The National Capital Authority last night advised an area of the lake was closed to primary contact activities.A NCA spokeswoman said Yarralumla Bay, Yarralumla Beach, Weston Park East and Black Mountain Beach are closed to recreation activities that involve whole-body water contact or submersion of the head.
Warning signs had been posted around the exclusion areas and the NCA will monitor water quality and will re-open the areas with clear test results.

GTS and Hobie announce the Gamakatsu Hobie Fishing Series for 2013.
Frogleys Offshore Director Michael Starkey commented, after discussions with Steve Fields at Hobie and other anglers GTS run by Australian Fishing Tournaments saw an opportunity to expand the GTS series with the help of Hobie and take up the gap left since the demise of the Southern Bream Series. "It is a great opportunity to get extra exposure South of Sydney" said Michael and "with Hobies help we hope to grow and function the same way as the current GTS series with both powerboats and kayaks getting a platform to competitively compete in but maintaining a social and fun tournament where anyone can give it a go".
