Trout & Salmon Regulations |
|
|
|
Victoria's
streams and lakes are classified into groups for the purposes of
regulating salmonid fisheries (rainbow trout, brown trout, Chinook
salmon and Atlantic salmon).
Each group of waters is defined by whether or not it has a closed season for salmonids and the daily bag limit.
The closed season for salmonids in 2006 is from midnight on the 12th June to midnight on the 1st September. During this time, anglers may not take or possess trout or salmon in rivers and streams, or in some lakes.
Furthermore,
some sections of the Goulburn, Mitta Mitta, Tanjil and Kiewa rivers are
closed to all hook and line fishing during the salmonid closed season,
regardless of the fish species being targeted.
The
boundary between a lake and a river is the point at which the flowing
water of the river meets the backed up waters of the lake, regardless
of the water level of the lake.
