These fish weighed around 110 g. They were surplus to the annual stocking program and had been retained at the New Norfolk hatchery and grown to an older age class. A further 2,000 of the rainbows were also transferred to the Salmon Ponds to be on grown for stocking the kid’s fish-out at the Inland Fisheries Trout Weekend, Liawenee next May.
A load of around 22,000 small diploid brown trout weighing around 1.5 g have been transferred to the North Motton rearing unit. These will be on grown in preparation for dispersal into farm dams for public fishing around the North West region.
