YABBY fishers get out your old opera house nets because from Friday, September 7 you’ll be able to swap them for free wildlife-friendly open-top lift nets.
Open-top lift nets catch just as many yabbies as opera house nets and can be used in both private and public waters, without harming native wildlife like platypus, turtles and water rats.
You’ll be able to swap up to 3 opera house nets per person at participating tackle stores.
