Mount Morgan stocks up for future fishing The Mount Morgan Dam is brimming of late – and it isn’t just thanks to recent rainfall. The local waterways recently became the new home to thousands of fingerlings. Last Saturday Mount Morgan Promotion and Development Incorporated (MMPAD) released more than 8,500 golden perch (yellowbelly) fingerlings into the Mount Morgan Dam. The official release saw members of the local organisation, staff of Hanwood Fish Hatchery, along with members of the Mount Morgan community happily grab a bucket and introduce the fingerlings to local waters. With ample food, shelter and water, the Mount Morgan Dam is set to provide a perfect habitat for the new inhabitants. The fingerlings were released in various areas around the dam’s perimeter, placed in sheltered shallows for further protection from predators and strong currents.
