Vic Recreational Fishing Guide 2008.indd 1 26/6/07 1:12:14 PM Welcome to the Joe Helper MP Victorian Recreational 5 Fishing Guide 2007-2008 More than 500,000 Victorians wet a line at least once a year. Some are chasing a feed for the table, while others are just sharing time by the water with friends and family in the great outdoors, away from the stresses of everyday life. While the drought and bushfires have adversely affected many of our inland fishery destinations, there remains a long list of waters that are well worth a visit. Many of them are annually stocked with trout by Fisheries Victoria. Others receive native fish such as Murray cod and golden perch. MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER If you’re going on a fi shing trip that means you’ll be behind the wheel for this long, Last year saw better times for saltwater fishing. Another terrific snapper season in Port Phillip Bay entertained thousands of anglers last spring. The terrific run of gummy sharks has continued right along our coast and the big bluefin tuna returned to Portland, attracting sporting anglers from right across Australia. This year’s Victorian Recreational Fishing Guide is the biggest yet. We have expanded the section on Your Licence Fees at Work so you can get a better understanding about how your licence fees are funding projects that improve fishing opportunities. We have also added a page to the abalone section to simplify the layout for divers. As the Minister Responsible for Fisheries I am very proud of the Victorian Government’s track used it in the preceding 12 months and 87 per cent record with recreational fishing. At the 2006 were very satisfied with it in its current format. election, the government committed $42 million With positive feedback like that it is little wonder to improve facilities and services for boaters the Guide finds a home in most anglers’ tackle and anglers and to get more Victorians outdoors. boxes.

The area covered by the Port Phillip and Western Port Fishery Management Plan aligns with the inland and estuarine waters administered by Melbourne Water and the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority. Waters include the Yarra, Maribyrnong and Werribee rivers, Sugarloaf Reservoir, Family Fishing Lakes such as Rowville, Emerald and Karkarook, and Lillydale Lake which is managed as a ‘Premier Lake’ through the Go Fishing in Victoria initiative. The Port Phillip and Western Port inland fishery supports high quality brown and rainbow trout, mulloway, black bream, redfin, Murray cod, Macquarie perch and river blackfish recreational fisheries. The area covered by the Wimmera Fishery Management Plan aligns with the inland waters administered by the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority. The Wimmera fishery includes trout fisheries such as Wartook Lake, Bellfield Reservoir and Fyans Lake and native fisheries such as Taylor Lake and the Wimmera River. The Draft Fishery Management Plans outline strategies for the sustainable management of these fisheries. Strategies include encouraging responsible fishing behaviour, stocking fish to enhance recreational fishing and improving angler access. The Draft Fishery Management Plans are now being distributed to key stakeholder groups and are available to the public for comment.

The East Gippsland Shire Council managed the construction of the three fishing platforms along the lower sections of Clifton Creek to improve access for shore-based anglers keen on chasing bream, luderick or flathead. The new platforms offer environmental benefits too, by reducing bank erosion and thus improving the overall aquatic health of the river. The three platforms, best accessed from Eastwood Estate, are adjacent to recent urban development and are linked by a walking track. Victorian Recreational Fishing Licence revenue funded the construction of the $20,000 platforms through the annual Recreational Fishing Grants Program. Funding from the last round of the Australian Government’s Recreational Fishing Community Grants Program will see another three fishing platforms constructed along the creek’s foreshore over the next six months. Since the commencement of the Victorian Recreational Fishing Grants Program in 2001/2002, almost 200 projects totalling over $6.7 million have been funded to improve freshwater and saltwater fishing opportunities in Victoria. For more information about the Program or previously funded projects visit the Recreational Fishing Grants Program page.
