2016/2017 NATIVE FISH STOCKING PLAN FOR DAMS AND LAKES
There are many impoundments and reservoirs suitable for native fish stocking throughout NSW and over the last two decades a large number of excellent recreational fisheries have been established. To ensure that the best use continues to be made of publicly funded fish stocking programs, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is seeking input from people who have an interest in the State’s stocked native freshwater fisheries.
The attached draft native fish stocking plan has been prepared for consideration by the recreational fishing community. Fish are stocked from Government hatcheries as a service to the anglers of NSW. Locations are selected based on recent stocking history and experience with those waters. The plan is also developed in accordance with the policies and guidelines set out in the Environmental Impact Statement and Fishery Management Strategy (FMS) on freshwater fish stocking in NSW.
The water quality and storage status of impoundments will also be assessed prior to stocking and where necessary changes will be made.
Please note: Planned fish release figures listed in the attached tables are targets only, and may be exceeded, or not attained, depending on hatchery production. Other seasonal factors such as water quality issues or unforeseen circumstances could preclude planned fish releases. As a result, allocations may be amended prior to release. Impoundments are listed as Priority 1 or 2. Priority 1 impoundments support large recreational fisheries or have not received stockings in recent years. Priority 2 impoundments are either smaller fisheries, suffer intermittent water quality issues or have recently received large stockings of that species. Every effort will be made to stock all listed impoundments. However, in the event of low hatchery production then Priority 1 dams will take precedence.
Please list in the space provided any comments on the plan or additional dams you would like considered for the native fish stocking program. Small dams will only be considered for stocking if there is practical public access and fishing is allowed. Proposals to stock impoundments which have not previously been stocked by DPI will require a letter of support from the impoundment manager. All proposals will be reviewed to ensure that the stocking is consistent with the FMS.
Please note that native fish are not normally stocked in rivers by DPI. Matching funds for river stockings may be available via the Dollar for Dollar scheme funded through the Freshwater Recreational Fishing Trust. For more information on this program, please refer to the DPI website: www.fisheries.nsw.gov.au. Please return any comments to the following
