Inland Fisheries staff completed last week a weigh and measure of the first brown trout for 2016 from the Liawenee canal fish trap. Two hundred fish were weighed and measured with an average weight of 1kg. All fish were in excellent condition.  We expect far more to be on their way.

Come and see for yourself at the Liawenee Trout Weekend on Saturday 21 & Sunday 22 May. More information about Trout Weekend 2016 can be found here.

There will also be ongoing samples taken throughout the spawning run for each of the other fish traps at Lake King William, Lake Sorell, Arthurs Lake and yingina/Great Lake.
