24.01.2022 For those that might have missed the presentation from the weekend at Walleroo.

24.01.2022 23 new ‘snags’ have been added to the river as part of a successful re-snagging pilot project by the Department for Environment and Water. The project aims to r...ebuild in-stream woody habitat for native fish and other aquatic life. These snags were installed this winter and now there are a total of 47 snags introduced into the River Murray ecosystem. Snag materials came from the Katarapko Floodplain project which was completed in June 2020. Trees removed during construction have been used to create snags that will now provide increased habitat to support bigger populations of aquatic life including native fish, bacteria, algae, micro-organisms and invertebrates. You can see the new snag sites first hand downstream of Lock 3 near Overland Corner and downstream of Lock 4 near Bookpurnong (eastern riverbank). See more

20.01.2022 By 1939, just before the war, people started to question to why the fishing had become more poor. Questions about the links between environmental condition and fishing quality are raised !

17.01.2022 Have your say on water infrastructure to help benefit the environment in the Coorong!

16.01.2022 Nice indication how humans modify environments very easily. I bet Adelaide would look similar with all the development occuring south.

13.01.2022 1939 - same year. It is realised that something must be done about correcting past environmental mistakes. Steps need to be taken in the right direction - a vision of an 'Anglers Paradise' at Port Noarlunga. Recreational fishing was an important reason to begin investing in local environmental restoration.

12.01.2022 #whatwasthefishingusedtobelike Same year, 1926, but equally noticeably larger fish of 4 and 5lb sadly no longer caught as frequently as once caught.

10.01.2022 Seagrass restoration - studies that have occured around Australian and New Zealand.

10.01.2022 #whatwasthefishinglike 1928 - reference to another 5lb bream - 'a monster' now considered to be a rarity

08.01.2022 Join a great group of people doing fantastic things for fish habitat and waterway restoration around the country!

08.01.2022 What was the fishing like? 1926 - "several 4lb bream hooked within minutes"...indication of splendid fishing that one was, but as article indicates has faded away into a distance memory. Environmental changes are thought to have driven these effects - yep, even back in 1926 they knew what had happened to the river and its effects on fishing quality!

07.01.2022 What was the fishing like? 1906 - Bream to 5lb!

05.01.2022 Mikes presentation from the weekend (2nd part)

04.01.2022 What was the fishing like? 1895 - "twenty to thirty bream: 2 to 3lb each before breakfast!"

03.01.2022 Mikes presentation from the weekend at Wallaroo (1st part)

01.01.2022 What was the fishing like in the Onk? Here's an insight from 1862! ...upwards of 50 fine fish...in a few hours Wonder how big a 'fine fish' was back in those days?

01.01.2022 What was the fishing like? 1908 - Bream to 4lb seen!
