This is terrific news. The estuary perch is an excellent fish to catch and tastes great, too.
Just a small point: Glenn Rippon said Lake Colac had never been stocked with fish before. If my memory serves me correctly, an attempt to stock the lake with trout occurred in the 1950’s.
It proved unsuccessful, but my brother and father caught a boot load full of rainbow trout from one of the creeks that fed the lake all those years ago.
Id love to see the poor old lake back full like it was 20yrs ago, but it might take that long for it to happen! Are they sure as to how much water will be in the lake next Feb Mar??? I hope there’s still enough for the release.
