Brett Mawbey, our Manager of Stocking, sure has been busy.

Two junior angling dams were stocked today with Atlantic salmon to support their clubs’ junior development program. It will also promote this year’s opening of the brown trout season which is not far away (6 August).

Devonport Anglers Club run Taylors junior angling dam at Latrobe and today we delivered them 250 Atlantic salmon averaging 1.5Kg. We also delivered 150 Atlantic salmon weighing 1.5kg on average to Frombergs junior angling dam near Ulverstone, for Young Anglers Development Incorporated.
