Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol district manager Greg Bowness says anglers coming to fish at South Burnett dams should familiarise themselves with changes to freshwater fishing rules which came into effect last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo more than six fishing lines can be used per person at any one time. Only one hook, artificial fly or lure can be attached to each line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen using a fishing line, you must stay within 50m of the line at all times. You should also check the fishing line regularly to allow any undersized or non-target species to be released safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll traps must be tagged clearly, ensuring the owner\u2019s surname and address is visible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshwater traps must be marked with a solid, light-coloured float that is at least 15cm in any dimension, if not fixed to something stationary above the water.<\/p>\n

Mr Bowness said anglers should also be aware of the rules surrounding bait.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAny bait caught must comply with size and possession limits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of freshwater fish and crustaceans, such as spangled perch, redclaw, freshwater prawns and yabbies as bait (dead or alive), is banned outside of their natural environment or range. ‘No-take’ species are also not able to be used as bait.<\/p>\n

\u201cFish caught that are not native to the area must not be returned to the water, even as bait.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis includes pest fish such as tilapia and carp which affect native species and marine environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said unlawful or suspicious fishing activities could be reported by calling the Fishwatch hotline on 1800-017-116.<\/p>\n
