I wish to apologise to those members where I have missed mentioning that special fish, but these stats were compiled from past Newsletter and I have either missed that notice or it wasn’t mentioned in the Newsletter.

Note: All fish listed, unless otherwise stated are Trout, either Brown or Rainbow and generally the majority of those fish over the 3lb mark would be Browns.

It should also be noted that I have hardly mentioned catches in the Upper and Lower Macalister River, the Wellington River, Shaws Creek or the Barkly River. These would amount to hundreds of fish over the last 20 years and this report would be a lot longer.
The general range of fish caught would be stocked Rainbows ranging from 20cms to 35cms and natural Browns from 10cms to 44cms with a few larger fish caught in the Lower Macalister and Glenmaggie Weir.
