If you are lucky enough to catch a fish from #CarcoarDam this Summer, you will notice a small, thin yellow tag on it containing an ID number. These numbers have been placed there by the Department of Primary Industries - Fisheries to encourage recreational fishing as part of their restocking program. When you report this number you will receive a free lure for your troubles and you will be helping Fisheries to monitor ecosystem activity in the dam. Paul Toole, Blayney Fishing Club, President Tom Williams and the team from Fisheries released 500 rainbow trout yesterday and will release a further 500 Wednesday morning. Visitors and media enjoyed watching and having a unique experience of releasing fish into the dam. Orange360 Visit Orange #fishing #warmwelcome #historicvillages #Blayney
