Lake Kurwongbah Stocking History
The fish stocking program for Lake Kurwongbah was able to be commenced after PRFMA successfully applied for and received funding from the Federal Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry’s recreational fishing community grants program. Moreton Bay Regional Council also contributed some initial funds and continues to supply funds each year to allow restocking of the lake.
The focus for this lake will be to produce a Australian Bass, Golden Perch and Saratoga fishery.
Fingerlings are sourced from various sources around southern Queensland. The fish are delivered by accredited fish breeders in purpose built transport tankers,
In 2008, PRFMA members made four trips to collect stock, the longest trip was over a thousand kilometers and required a couple of days of travel, harvesting and distribution to collect some prime southern strain Saratoga. Even though wet, tired and dirty our guys bought back the basis of a breeding population which we hope will make Kurwongbah a fine Saratoga fishery in the years to come.
