2014-15TASMANIAN INLAND FISHING CODE the essential pocket guide Look at this - no life jackets in 4o water! Life jackets are a requirement when under power in any boat 6m or less. Life jackets also greatly increase your chances of survival in cold water. With inland water temperatures down to 4o, a life jacket keeps you buoyant, enables you to assess the situation and make a rational decision.

This was a remarkable achievement at the time and we commemorate the perseverance and diligence of those who undertook this feat. They laid the foundation of the magnificent recreational fishery that we now enjoy today. The wild brown trout which is the highlight of our fishery is a pure strain derived from the original shipment.

An overview of these changes is outlined below. Anglers should check the relevant section of the Fishing Code for more detailed information. The size limit of 600 mm for fish from a number of waters has been reduced to 500 mm length. These waters are Meadowbank Lake, Blackmans Lagoon,Brushy Lagoon, Bradys Lake, Craigbourne Dam, Four Springs Lake, Lake Barrington, Lake Binney, Tungatinah Lagoon, Tooms Lake, Woods Lake and Lake Leake. The daily bag and size limit for Dee Lagoon and Lake Kara has been changed to a minimum size of 300 mm and a bag limit of 5 fish which can include only two fish over 500 mm in length. The minimum size limit for fish from Lake Crescent has increased to 300 mm length, with only two fish over 500 mm length permitted to be taken as part of the five fish bag limit. The daily angling times for Brushy Lagoon, Craigbourne 150 Years of Trout Fishing in Tasmania 1864-2014 6 Dam, Curries River Reservoir, Four Springs Lake, Huntsman Lake and Lake Crescent have been extended, allowing anglers to fish within the period, one hour before sunrise to three hours after sunset. Where practical, references to white post delineating specific fishing areas (eg closed waters, waters with variations to fishing methods or angling season) have been replaced with map grid references (GDA 94). A number of previously ”Closed Waters” have been opened for fishing within the prescribed angling season. Regulations specific to Lagoon of Islands has been removed as this water no longer operates as a trout fishery. Licence Information Angling licence requirements A current angling licence is required to fish with a rod, reel and line at any inland water in Tasmania (including farm dams on private property) during the angling season that applies to that water. A separate licence is required for whitebait fishing and all commercial activities, including the sale of fish and possession of certain equipment such as a fish net. Only a private fishery registered by the Inland Fisheries Service (the Service) can charge a fee to fish and set rules for the fishery. An angling licence is not required to fish: • at a Registered Private Fishery • for bream in the specified bream (indigenous fish) waters listed in the Inland Fisheries (Recreational Fishing) Regulations 2009 • with a single rod at an open inland water if the person is under the age of 14 years. 150 Years of Trout Fishing in Tasmania 1864-2014 7 Licence type and cost Angling licence types and costs for the 2014-15 licence period, which runs from 1/8/14 to 31/7/15, are shown below. This year, the Service has held the cost of a Junior licence at $12 for the seventh year in a row. Angling licence type Cost $ 5 Season Licence – Adult 1 Rod 344.00 5 Season Licence – Adult 2 Rod 414.00 5 Season Licence – Senior 1 Rod 272.00 5 Season Licence – Senior 2 Rod 307.00 5 Season Licence – Pensioner 1 Rod 187.00 5 Season Licence – Pensioner 2 Rod 222.00 Adult full season 72.50 Pensioner full season 39.50 Senior full season 57.50 Junior (14-17 yrs) full season 12.00 28 Days 57.50 7 Days 37.00 48 Hours 22.00 2nd Rod (Adult) 14.80 2nd Rod (Other) 7.40 Replacement 2.95 150 Years of Trout Fishing in Tasmania 1864-2014 8 To be eligible for a Junior licence, a person must be at least 14 years of age and under 18 years of age.

They are also are sold by registered agents throughout Tasmania including tackle, outdoor and sports stores, and all Service Tasmania shops. Renewal forms are sent to all Full Season licence holders each year by post or email, and anglers are sent a plastic licence card within 21 days of receipt of payment or from the date when licence selling agents returns are received. Whitebait fishing licence Whitebait licences are issued as a separate fishing licence and are available through Service Tasmania shops and selected agents prior to the season. The cost of a whitebait licence this year is $29.60 and the season runs from Wednesday 1 October to Tuesday 11 November. The regulations relating to whitebait fishing are provided on the whitebait licence. Angling licence conditions It is a condition of the angling licence that the holder complies with the Inland Fisheries Act 1995, Inland Fisheries (Recreational Fishing) Regulations 2009 and subsequent Orders. These regulations governing the recreational fishery are summarised in 150 Years of Trout Fishing in Tasmania 1864-2014 9 this Fishing Code but complete versions of this legislation can be viewed online at www.thelaw.tas.gov.au. Recreational species The recreational fishing regulations are focused on the four species of salmonids, which were introduced to Tasmania and are now acclimatised fish. These are brown trout (Salmo trutta), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Several species of native fish which are commonly caught by anglers are also governed by the Inland Fisheries (Recreational Fishing) Regulations 2009. These are black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri), river blackfish (Gadopsis marmoratus), estuary perch (Macquaria colonorum), short finned eel (Anguilla australis) and long finned eel (Anguilla reinhardtii). Separate regulations apply to the recreational whitebait fishery which covers several species of small native fish. Rules and Regulation General angling rules and regulations Angling rules and regulations, including angling seasons and times, bag and size limits, and angling methods apply to individual waters in Tasmania. The general rules that apply for most waters are: • an open season from 2/8/14 to 3/5/15 • open to all methods of angling (fly, artificial lure and bait fishing) • a daily bag limit of 12 fish • a minimum fish size of 220 mm in length. 150 Years of Trout Fishing in Tasmania 1864-2014 10 The exceptions to these general rules apply to waters closed to fishing at all times listed under Closed waters (as shown below), all waters in the Western Lakes area, National Parks and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) and waters listed in the Exceptions to the general rules chart.

  • Hydro 4 Water Storage

    Hydro 4 Water Storage

    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.

The rocky landscape here has been Friday, June 18, 2021 Page 1 of 8 shaped by glaciation, the rasping of ice across the bedrock leaving countless hollows in which lakes and tarns have formed. Glacial erratics are common, and the soil is poor and peaty. At 1040 metres above sea level, the area is subject to extreme cold in winter, being swept by rain- and snow-bearing south-westerly winds. Much of the Central Plateau near Lake Malbena was burned by bushfire in 1961 (Binks 2006, p. 117), and Halls Island, on which the hut stands, has a complex fire history (Hackett 2021b).

THE following Catalogue of the Minerals known to occur and reeortled from this Island is mainly prepared from specimen~ contained in my own collection, and in the majority of instances I have verified the identifications by careful qualitative analysis. It cannot claim any originality of research, 01' even accluac)" of detail, but as the material has been so rapidly accumulating during the past few )'ears I bave thoug-ht it well to place on record the result of my personal observation and collecting, wbich, with information ~Ieaned from authentic sources, may, I trust, at least pave tbe way for a more elaborate compilation by a more capable authority. I have purposely curtailed my remarks on the various species 80 Rs to make them as concise as possible, and to redulle the bulk of the matter. As an amateur I think I may fairly claim tbe indulgence of the professional or otber critics, for I feel sure tbat my task has been very inadequately performed in pro­ portion to the importance of the subjeot-one not only fraugbt with a deep scientific interest on account of tbe multitude of questions arisin~ from the occurrence and deposition of the minerals them­ selves, but also from the great economic results of our growing mining indu.try. My object has been more to give some inform­ ation on tbis subject to the general student of nature,-to point out tbe larg-e and varied field of observation open to him,- than to instruct the more advanced mineralo~ist.

Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.
