Brought to you by of coastal estuaries and inland impoundments. Thanks to the fish, we can provide you with some interesting stories that they tell. IMPOUNDMENT BASS SEEDING

OUR COASTAL WATERWAYS Many South East Queensland dams (impoundments) are heavily stocked with Australian bass thanks the QLD Stock Impoundment Permit Scheme or

through the hard work of local stocking groups who raise funds to purchase fingerlings. This is the case for this month’s tagging tale. The Brisbane Valley Anglers Stocking Group have been putting fish into Enoggera Reservoir on the northwestern fringes of Brisbane’s CBD through fundraising for a number of years. Recent flood events saw Enoggera Reservoir reach over 200% capacity sending many fish over the wall and into the big wide world. This particular fish has found a new home in the Bremer River, some 99km by water from Enoggera Reservoir.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU CATCH A TAGGED FISH The information you will need to report your recapture is. The length of the fish and the location it was captured. Get a photo if possible. To report the details of your recapture you have two options: Call 1800 077001 or go to crystalbowl.infofishaustralia.com. au/suntag/recaptures/recapture_form_1.htmland fill in the form. In return you will receive a certificate providing the details of the tagging and recapture of your fish, as a thank you for providing the information. APRIL 2023 61
