Introduction
Background Every year the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport & Resources, through Fisheries Victoria, stock many of Victoria’s inland lakes, impoundments and rivers with key recreational angling species to improve fishing opportunities for fishers across the state. The annual rounds of Vic Fish Stock regional consultative meetings plan the direction of these stocked fisheries. The meetings apportion the number of native fish to be stocked in the forthcoming summer (2016-17) and the number of salmonids that will be stocked in the following winter (2017). This document reports on the outcomes of the 2016 consultative meetings.
Vic Fish Stock meetings The purpose of the Vic Fish stock meetings are for each waterbody, to consider recreational angling to:
Determine the management objectives for the fishery
Review the current fishery in light of the current year's stocking plan and identify any modifications required
Draft the following year’s stocking plan
Identify other opportunities to improve fish stocking in Victoria
Identify current fishery management issues
Assess additional proposals to the stocking program
The Vic Fish Stock meetings provide a forum for discussions on fish stocking regimes and related recreational fisheries management issues. In 2015, five meetings were held across regional Victoria:
Hume — held at Snobs Creek on the 22nd August 2016
Port Phillip —- held at Melbourne on the 23rd August 2016
Loddon Mallee — held at Bendigo on the 24th August 2016
Grampians/Barwon South West — held at Ballarat on the 25th August 2016
Gippsland — held at Traralgon on the 7th September 2015
Submissions to change the stocking program are tabled from representative angler groups. This ensures that the submissions are supported by the relevant groups. Individuals who wish to submit changes are encouraged to contact the representation groups.
The meetings involve invited representatives from a range of stakeholder groups and include Fisheries Victoria, the Victorian Recreational Fishing peak body (VRFish), the Australian Trout Foundation (ATF), Native Fish Australia (NFA), Water Management Authorities, Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs), Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning Primary Industries (DELWP) and fishing association representatives.
Draft outcomes from Vic Fish Stock meetings are prepared by Fisheries Victoria and circulated to meeting participants for comment prior to the publication of this document. This report summarises the key outcomes of the 2016 Vic Fish Stock meetings.
The Department acknowledges and values the important contribution made by stakeholders in this process, particularly those who volunteered their time to prepare for and attend these meetings.

2016 Vic Fish Stock meeting outcomes The 2016 Vic Fish Stock outcomes proposed 2,979,700 native fish to be stocked into Victorian public waters in the summer of 2016-17 and 993,400 salmonids to be stocked in the winter of 2017. Details of the planned species and numbers to be stocked for each water body are detailed in Appendix 1.
The proposed fish release figures summarised here and listed in Appendix 1 are targets only. Numbers may vary and may be exceeded, or not attained, depending on hatchery conditions, water conditions (e.g. water quality, water levels), infrastructure maintenance, decisions of waterway managers, security of fish supply (e.g. unforseen impacts on production such as mortality, disease, quarantine status and availability of required stocks from private suppliers) and any unforeseen circumstances that could preclude planned fish releases. Fish allocations may, therefore, be amended prior to release.

Improving fisheries state-wide
Vic Fish Stock 2016 5
Toolondo Reservoir fishery The Toolondo Reservoir Recreational Fishery Advisory Group was established in March 2015 to secure the future of Toolondo Reservoir as one of Victoria's best trout fisheries. Over the next 6 months, the group commissioned three independent studies, deployed monitoring equipment and reviewed the performance of the fishery over the last twenty-three years. The Advisory Group's final draft report was presented to Government for consideration. The state government’s initial transfer of 5,000 megalitres to Toolondo Reservoir in January 2015 preserved water levels and extended the performance of the fishery. This resulted in some exceptional trout fishing over the last twelve months.
Good rainfalls in the winter of 2016 saw increases in storage capacity in Rocklands Reservoir and 10 megalitres were subsequently released into Toolondo, ensuring continued fishing into next year. Fisheries were quick to react and have stocked additional fish into the lake to maintain the fishery.
Drought recovery stocking Fish stocking trucks hit the road in spring 2016 to deliver tens of thousands of yearling trout to Victorian lakes that had re- filled with recent spring rainfall. Stocking recently filed lakes has proven successful as the fish can take advantage of the increased productivity and ample food.
Several iconic lakes had filled and others were on a watch-list to be stocked pending further rain forecast in October. Undertaking fish stocking quickly into lakes responds to the improved conditions and can result in spectacular fishing.
The drought recovery fish stocking plans were refined with help from keen anglers at a Ballarat workshop, which brought together local advice on waterways.
Lakes that had refilled and stocked included Greenhill Lake, Lake Bolac, Lake Burrumbeet, Lake Beaufort, Lake Elingamite, Lake Wallace, Bostock Reservoir, Deep Lake, Tullaroop Reservoir, Lake Tooliorook, Teddington Res (bottom), Teddington Res (upper), and Moorabool Reservoir
The trout were sourced from Fisheries Victoria’s hatchery at Snobs Creek.

Hazelwood Pondage Barramundi

Barramundi are a tropical species, highly prized by recreational fishers. Hazelwood Pondage near Moe is part of the cooling process of the power station and as a result has warm water. The site was investigated for suitability for Barramundi with the view to stocking the lake with these hard fighting fish.
In May 2015, Fisheries Victoria established a local working group, completed a water quality review, deployed water temperature loggers and completed a tank-based acclimatisation trial (using Hazelwood Pondage water). In April 2016, 1,700 barramundi (of various sizes) were stocked into the Pondage. At least 20 of these fish were fitted with acoustic tags and a number of acoustic receivers were deployed around the Pondage. The six month trial indicated survival, movement and growth of barramundi.
Based on the success of the monitoring, in August, a further 4,886 Barramundi were released.
Subsequent monitoring showed continued great growth rates and the fishery was opened in December 2016.
The fishery opened on 9th December. To avoid congestion at the small boat ramp, and allow many people to experience the fishery, a ballot system was operated for anglers wishing to use a boat to fish the lake. Over 25,000 registrations were received in the ballot. The need for a boat–based permit was not required for a barramundi fishing open weekend on 4th-and 5th of February. The need for boat-based permits was removed from March 1 2017.

Open season in Eildon cod
Josh Trew with an Eildon Cod off the surface
The 3 month closed season for Murray cod did not apply to Lake Eildon in 2016. The change in regulations expanded freshwater fishing opportunities for anglers to chase Murray cod all year.
Research found that 99.6% of cod in Lake Eildon were stocked fish. Closed seasons regulations aim to provide protection for spawning wild fish. If cod are not breeding in the lake, it makes no sense to protect them unnecessarily with a closed season, especially when it limits fishing opportunities. A survey of anglers fishing Eildon during this period showed anglers valued this regulation change.
Anglers were permitted to take Murray cod from Lake Eildon during September, October and November this year. The Murray cod closed season remained in place in all other Victorian waters.
Lake Eildon’s reputation as a productive cod fishery has grown thanks to a substantial stocking program, funded through fishing licence fees. More than 1 million cod fingerlings were released into the lake between 2010 and 2013, complementing an existing population developed from decades of smaller scale releases.
The change in Lake Eildon Murray cod regulations mirrors a NSW decision to remove the Murray cod closed season at Copeton Dam. Like Eildon, research found most of Copeton's cod were stocked fish and not the offspring of wild ones.
Other regulations for Murray cod remain unchanged including the slot limit introduced in 2014 of 55 to 75cm, the bag limit of 1 in rivers and 2 in lakes.
The removal of the closed season at Lake Eildon will be trialled for 12 months – For more information visit www.vic.gov.au/eildoncodopen

Golden perch bag limit reduction From 20 April 2016, the daily bag limit for golden perch in Victoria’s lakes was reduced from 10 to five.
The change was in response to concerns that bag limit catches of large perch were being taken regularly by groups of anglers from several stocked lakes. These catches included numerous fish over 3kg and hauls well beyond a reasonable day’s take for the table.
The reduced bag limit of five is protecting stocked populations from over-harvest and will better share the resource amongst anglers.
Golden perch populations in lakes are nearly all stocked and take more than a decade to establish as viable fisheries so are worthy of protection. Most have been created using recreational fishing licence fees and are a valuable asset for anglers and the local community.
The change simplifies the rules for freshwater anglers and brings the golden perch bag limit in line with that already in place for Victorian rivers.
Sustainable freshwater fisheries and our ongoing native fish stocking program aim to improve recreational fishing opportunities, increase participation and boost regional tourism.
Port Phillip Bay Conference In partnership with recreational fishing groups VRFish and the FutureFish Foundation, Fisheries Victoria hosted its first ever conference on Port Phillip Bay.
Fisheries scientists presented on snapper, kingfish and southern calamari research, along with habitat improvement efforts such as shellfish reef restoration and recreational fishing reefs.
Rex Hunt was special guest and talked about getting young people into fishing and his more memorable moments on the water.
David Kramer from FutureFish chaired.

Victoria welcomes nine new Fisheries Officers The appointment of nine newly trained Fisheries Officers across the state has brought the team looking after Victoria’s fish stocks up to full strength.
The new officers have been widely deployed and include Horsham, Portland, Yarram, Mallacoota, Traralgon and Mornington.
The officers endured ten week’s training that covered small boat handling, testifying in court, legal, defensive driving, community education, fisheries management, and an understanding of recreational and commercial fisheries, both inland and marine. The training is a comprehensive program to get the officers ready for their role as education and enforcement authorised officers for Fisheries Victoria.
The recruitment program began in August 2015 when 315 applications were received and the shortlisted applicants went through a competitive recruitment process involving psychometric testing, first round telephone interviews, face-to-face interviews and a scenario based assessment centre.
Apart from compliance duties, the new officers will be helping to release trout and native fish grown at our Snobs Creek hatchery, attend community events to promote sustainable fishing and visiting angling clubs to talk about local issues and identify opportunities to improve fishing and angler access.
The new officers join an experienced state-wide team who are the vital front line in our efforts to ensure the sustainability of Victoria’s fish stocks.

Fishing club Grants Grants are available to fishing clubs as part of the Target One Million plan. Uptake has been encouraging and the 100th Stronger Fishing Clubs grant recipient, the Mallacoota Angling Club was awarded with a very large cheque and much fanfare.
The Stronger Fishing Clubs grant program is open until March next year and is all part of the Target One Million plan, to get more people fishing, more often.
Go to www.vic.gov.au/strongerfishingclubs to apply.

Lake Purrumbete and Camperdown angling clubs volunteer work recognised Lake Purrumbete and Camperdown angling clubs were acknowledged for their volunteer work in helping to improve the Crater lakes fisheries. Fisheries recently thanked the clubs with a 9kg (20lb) preserved Chinook salmon in recognition of their great effort in monitoring these fisheries' performance.
The clubs have provided 43 years of historical catch and effort data plus detailed information on more than 2,300 fish caught from the lakes since 2012. The clubs also donated salmon heads and frames so otoliths (ear bones) could be used to determine the age of fish.
The information has been used in a project, funded by fishing licence fees, to understand how stocking rates can recreate the trophy Chinook salmon fisheries of the past and to monitor current stocking.
This work is paying off as salmon over 5.6kg (12lb) starting to come through the fishery. The largest were just two years and ten months old, representing excellent growth rates.
Lake Bullen Merri once supported a world-class salmon fishery with trophy specimens attracting thousands of anglers. Recent growth rates suggest we are on track to again grow some very large salmon over the next few years.

Talk Wild Trout Conference The second Talk Wild Trout Conference was held in Mansfield on November 5, 2016. Building on last year’s inaugural ‘Talk Wild Trout’ conference, the 2016 event was a huge success and attracted around 200 keen anglers from across the state.
The 2016 conference assembled fisheries scientists and freshwater anglers to share the findings of research conducted on riverine trout populations during year two of this three-year project.
The conference shared the results of field work so that anglers, and angling dependent businesses, build an understanding of our trout fisheries, their key drivers, and ways to potentially improve trout fisheries.
Ms April Vokey, a leading fisheries conservationist and passionate fly fisher from Canada, provided the keynote address about her love of trout fishing.
Conference topics included include an update on the trout populations in 12 key wild trout rivers, information on movement of tagged trout in the Delatite River over summer, how smart tree planting can offset climate change impacts in Victorian trout rivers, how anglers can get involved with CMAs in river restoration efforts and updates of CMA instream habitat improvements.
Anglers also heard from fisheries managers about the low contribution that stocked trout have made in the Howqua and Goulburn rivers and that conventional stocking is not effective where existing trout populations are present.
The conference was funded by fishing licence fees and the State Governments Target One Million plan for recreational fishing, which aims to get more people fishing, more often and grow participation to one million by 2020.
More information about the day, including speakers and themes, is available at www.vic.gov.au/troutconference
Further details about the conference and the Wild Trout Fisheries Management Plan (WTFMP) can be obtained from the Fisheries Victoria website: http://agriculture.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recreational-fishing/wild-trout-fisheries-management-program

Murray CODference Victoria’s first ever Murray ‘codference’ was held in Shepparton on Sunday 11 December. Over 200 keen participants attended the event and heard a range of topics regarding Murray cod.
Codference’ topics included, indigenous connections to Murray cod, habitat restoration efforts, a progress report on how the new slot limits are working and stocking program updates to improve fishing in rivers and lakes.
The ‘codference’ was part of the State Government’s $46 million Target One Million plan for recreational fishing, which aims to get more people fishing, more often and grow participation to one million by 2020.
The keynote address was presented by Dr Stuart Rowland from NSW, a nationally recognised expert on Murray cod, who presented and reflected on times gone by and the resurgence of the species.
Cod fishing legends Rod Mackenzie and Rod Harrison presented their angling tips and experiences, and how the attitudes of most recreational anglers towards Murray cod have changed for the better.
Aquatic veterinarian Dr Paul Hardy, Smith, gave an overview of better handling practises for Murray cod, which is more important than ever for big fish, following the introduction of the slot limit in 2014 and the requirement that all cod over 75cm must now be released.

Recreational Fishing Forums Fisheries Victoria is always open to new ideas and ways to keep improving recreational fisheries opportunities for Victorian anglers. Each year a series of regional fishing forums are held throughout regional Victoria to update interested stakeholders about Fisheries Victoria’s management activities and hear any suggestions in which recreational fishing can be improved in their region.
The forums are advertised widely in the media each year and anglers may also send in ideas online. See the Fisheries Victoria website for further details see the website at: http://agriculture.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recreational-fishing/target-one-million/regional-recreational-roundtables
Brook trout in Purrumbete Anglers had expressed a desire to see some Brook trout stocked into Purrumbete. Brook trout are a freshwater fish belonging to the salmon family and although called a trout, is actually a char. Brook trout are native to eastern North America, but have been introduced into other countries around the world.
The fish are noted for their handsome colouration and angling attributes.
A total of 3,000 brook trout were released into Lake Purrumbete, near Camperdown, in August 2016. This was the first official release of the species in Victoria. The release was the first of a two-year trial at Lake Purrumbete, which also supports a redfin fishery and is stocked with Chinook salmon, brown trout and rainbow trout.
The stocking was funded by recreational fishing licence fees and the State Government's Target One Million plan, which aims to get more people fishing, more often.
Anglers catching a brook trout from the lake are encouraged to report if to Fisheries Victoria.

Marine stocking trials The State Government’s Target One Million plan included a commitment to implement a marine stocking program in Victoria. In August 2015, Fisheries Victoria Managers met with Gippsland representative anglers at the Lake Tyers Beach Angling Club where agreement was reached to trial the stocking of estuary perch (25,000) and mulloway (5,000) in Lake Tyers and mulloway (2,500) in Tamboon Inlet.
Five thousand mulloway fingerlings were stocked into Lake Tyers during October 2015 and 25,000 estuary perch fingerlings were stocked into Lake Tyers on January 2016 and a further 25,000 estuary perch were stocked in January 2017.
A key success factor of this project has been the contribution of volunteer fishers who helped collect mature estuary perch from Gippsland waters for the breeding program. Anglers were also on hand to help stock the fish into their new homes.

School Holiday stocking program The school holiday stocking program sees over 70 mainly urban waters stocked with ready to catch rainbow trout. The waters are usually stocked prior to the 2nd and 3rd school holidays, although this does vary for some lakes. The program provides close to home angling for many people. The program looks to expand in the next few years. For more information on the waters included in the program check the website:
http://agriculture.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recreational-fishing/fish-stocking/school-holiday-trout-stocking
In the summer of 2016/17 the program was expanded to include the release of silver perch into selected northern family friendly waters to provide summer native fish fishing opportunities for local families.

Vic Fish Stock 2016 17
Bass in the Snowy River The Snowy River at McKillops Bridge was stocked with 40,000 Australian bass fingerlings to improve freshwater fishing opportunities for recreational anglers. The fish were sourced from a private hatchery interstate that had grown extra this season.
The Snowy River and Australian bass are an iconic combination so it made sense to take advantage of the opportunity and purchase those additional fish at short notice. This helped set a new stocking record for the species of 162,000 released into Victorian waters in one year.
The 40,000 bass fingerlings complement 122,000 stocked in 2016 into 17 waters including the Macalister, Mitchell, Tambo, Thomson, Tyers, Timbarra and Avon rivers along with lakes Glenmaggie and Blue Rock. Nearly 850,000 bass have been stocked into Gippsland rivers and lakes since 2002 and anglers are reporting that the fish are growing very well and providing great fishing opportunities.
The Snowy River had been stocked with bass between 2007 and 2013 when Victorian and NSW agencies joined forces to release over 500,000 fingerlings. Those fish spread throughout the river and provided a valuable pulse of young age-classes in the fishery, which contained some very large and old bass, but very few smaller fish. The release of 40,000 fingerlings into the Snowy River will help maintain a viable population and provide recreational fishing opportunities for locals and visitors.
Learn more at www.vic.gov.au/bassstocking
Estuary perch stocking expanded Estuary perch stocking program was expanded to include the National Watersports Centre and Mordialloc Creek. This is on the back of recent positive reports of anglers catching estuary perch from other stocked waters. Reports have been recieved from Devilbend Reservoir, Karkarook Lake, the Werribee River, Melton Reservoir and Albert Park Lake.
Fisheries Victoria has stocked more than 400,000 Estuary perch fingerlings in 14 waters over the last 4 years. (Photo by Marc Ainsworth)
18 Vic Fish Stock 2016
Recreational Fishing Grants Program (RFGP) Every year the Victorian Government, through the Recreational Fishing Licence Trust Account, disburses revenue derived from the sale of Recreational Fishing Licences to projects that will improve recreational fishing in Victoria.
Since its inception in 2001, the Recreational Fishing Grants Program (RFGP) has funded over 600 projects, worth more than $21 million throughout Victoria.
A Small Grants Program, that is continually open to fund small projects (up to $5,000 - GST Exclusive)
A Large Grants Program (for projects from $5,001 to $100,000)
A Commissioning Program for large priority projects (generally in excess of $100,000).
The trust has also allocated an annual grant of $200,000 to Fisheries Victoria to secure additional native and salmonid species for the state-wide stocking program.
More information on the RFGP activities is available at the Fisheries Victoria website: www.vic.gov.au/fishinggrants
Details on how to access grants are provided in the ‘Fishing for Grants’ section of this report.
Fishing for Grants? Grants are available to help improve recreational fishing and facilities. Options for obtaining funding are through the Recreational Fishing Licence Trust Fund.

Appendix 1 – Proposed fish stockings
Using the Tables The following tables present a summary of five Vic Fish Stock consultation meetings held across regional Victoria in 2016. They reflect the key outcomes from each meeting. Proposals for stockings were received prior to meetings. These proposals were discussed and a final position determined by consensus. The proposals were then costed against budgets and fish production capabilities and modified to suit but maintaining the intention of the stocking. The outcomes represent the shared decision of the meeting attendees resulting from this assessment.
Annual stocking refers to the on-going stocking program where waters are stocked with the fish each year. These stockings will continue each year unless altered at the Vic Fish Stock meetings or there is insufficient water to stock fish, or some other unforseen reason.
School holiday stockings refer to the stocking of ready to catch on-grown rainbow trout into small waters prior to selected school holidays.

Appendix 2 – Stocking Submission Check list
The following is a check list of information that you could include in a submission to the stocking program. These suggestions are not mandatory but will assist in the assessment of any proposals if included and addressed. Proposals can be discussed by contacting John Douglas, Fisheries Manager, Fisheries Victoria, on 03 5770 8045, or with your local Fisheries Officer.
Name of Water:
Fish Species:
Suggested change:
Justification for the suggestion: Why is it needed? What is the expected outcome?
Your name and/or organisation:
Affiliation with angling club(s) (if appropriate):
Have you discussed the suggestion with Fisheries Victoria an angling club or association?
Have you checked the suggestion against Fisheries Victoria’s stocking policy criteria?
Will the suggested change:
Maximise the returns to recreational anglers;
Create public value;
Enhance and support natural recruitment;
Be consistent with the translocation protocols and guidelines;
Provide for equitable access for a range of stakeholders;
Satisfy cost-benefit analysis; and
Consider long-term sustainable management strategies.
Are suitable receiving waters for the species to be stocked?
Is there evidence that self-sustaining populations do not exist or that they should be augmented for recreational fishing purposes?
