Fishcare Victoria takes a fresh approach as the Local Fish in Focus project forges inland

Want to know more about the freshwater fish that you can catch in Central Highlands Region of Victoria?

Fishcare Victoria has just released three new 'Local Fish in Focus' brochures as part of a $29,050 Commonwealth Recreational Fishing Community Program Grant titled 'Fishcare forges inland'. The educational products focus on the popular redfin, brown trout and rainbow trout.

The full colour A4 illustrated brochures help to provide a better understanding of the recreational significance, biology and habitat of some of the more popular recreational target species in the Central Highlands Region, including specific information on fishing techniques, tackle, bait and fishing regulations. There are also some handy hints for increasing released fish survival.
