After the latest release of juvenile barra into Lake Kununurra on 18 July, attended by 150 locals and holidaymakers, North Regional TAFE (NRT) was already casting its eye to the future – catching more fish for breeding purposes – or broodstock, as they are called. "We need to collect male barra for our maturation tanks at the Broome Aquaculture Centre so we can keep stocking fish into Lake Kununurra,” NRT’s Milton Williams explained. “Barra are born as males, but transition into females at about 80cm. At the moment, we’re running out of males so we need to collect more while we’re here in Kununurra.” Read more here.

The mighty dhufish. They’re WA’s most iconic fish for a myriad of reasons, writes Western Angler editor Scott Coghlan in this edition of Scott’s Species. We take a look back at this well-read article, which was initially published in May, as Scott explains why majority of fishers in the southern half of the State have "a big dhufish” on their bucket list.
Funded by licence fees through the Recreational Fishing Initiatives Fund (RFIF), the State-wide fish aggregating devices (FADs) trial program began in late 2019 and has provided a popular new addition to the fishing landscape for thousands of fishers and spearfishers. Read what lessons were learnt in the opening two years of the three-year program and how FADs are helping make fishing in WA event better here.
We’re calling on freshwater anglers to complete a quick 10-minute survey to play your part in shaping the trout fishery’s future. We want to know more about your freshwater fishing activities to find out what trout enthusiasts want from this important South West fishery. Click here to have your say and complete the survey. Casting lures into Harvey Dam proved fruitful for Giordano Gervasi at the weekend. 🌈🌈🌈
