Southern Water has advised that the water level at Risdon Brook Dam is now too low to fish from the platforms for people with a disability. A closed sign has been placed on the pathway to the platforms.
The IFS is looking at different season dates for this water in the future following advice from Southern Water that the water management regime there is such that it is usually too low for fishing by December. The good rains in Spring of last year extended the season beyond the projected December closure through January this year.
Anglers with a disability are advised that other fishing platforms are available on the Plenty River at the Salmon Ponds, and on the River Derwent at the New Norfolk esplanade, off Riverside Drive at Bridgewater and Windsor Corner at Lawitta.
