November 27, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

The State Government will spend $81,000 to boost native fish numbers in the South Burnett’s three major dams.<\/p>\n

Thousands of fingerlings will be released in\u00a0Bjelke-Petersen Dam,\u00a0Gordonbrook Dam and\u00a0Boondooma Dam during the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister Mark Furner said more than three million fingerlings would be released overall across Queensland during the coming year.<\/p>\n

The releases are funded by the sale of recreational fishing permits.<\/p>\n

The cost of an annual permit is $50 per person, $36 for concession card holders or $10 for a weekly permit; 75 per cent of the money raised by the scheme is returned to fish stocking volunteers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaby barramundi, Australian bass, golden perch and Murray cod are among the iconic species finding new homes to ensure the South Burnett continues to enjoy some of Australia\u2019s best freshwater fishing,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our native fish are reluctant to breed in dams and weirs, but Queensland\u2019s permit scheme ensures reeling in the catch-of-the-day is enjoyable and sustainable.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalf of all fingerling funding this year has been cast into areas near popular fishing spots as a direct result of feedback from permit holders on improving freshwater angling experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than 43,000 recreational fishers have taken out a permit for Queensland\u2019s 63 stocked dams and weirs.<\/p>\n

Permits are available online<\/a><\/strong> on at any Australia Post outlet in Queensland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
