Dougy Ivanovic with a 16lb Brown. (22 May 2007) Big browns like this are often caught at this time of the year and some have been released from Gaden Trout Hatchery as ex-brood stock.
Australia’s only disease-free trout and salmon hatchery is being threatened with closure.
Andrew McKenzie, president of the NSW Rod Fishers Society writes:
NSW’s Gaden Hatchery has the only disease free trout and salmon stock in Australia.
Think on that, we cannot get such stock from overseas any more.
Those stocks are now largely diseased and probably wouldn’t be let into the country under “noxious” or “feral pest” status anyway.
Gaden is the sole supply of this disease free brood stock in Australia.
