Freshwater species that are stocked in Queensland waters

Within these areas there are approx. 74 dams and rivers that are stocked with native fish.
To obtain a full run down on all these systems refer to FRESHWATER FISHING IN QUEENSLAND a guide to stocked waters booklets produced by the Queensland Primary Industries.

Before you start fishing stop and think where you would live if you were a fish, remember fish live for two reasons, one is to reproduce and the other is to eat.
So think like a fish and take time to work out where the best place would be to catch an easy feed.
For instance if you were a saltwater fish in an estuary you might lie under a mangrove ready to ambush your prey or in a gutter somewhere waiting for the tide to wash yabbies or worms your way when the tide came in or went out.
OR maybe you want to catch a freshwater fish, so you would fish early or late in the afternoon when fish generally feed better, look for structures like sunken logs or dead trees in the lake, this type of habitat is cover for freshwater fish.
