THE consultation report arising from the trout strategy workshop meetings and on line survey held in NSW during May and June has been released.
The workshops provided a great opportunity to meet with the trout fishing community of NSW. According to NSW DPI Fisheries, the workshops and broader consultation provided a wealth of feedback about the current state of the trout fishery in NSW, the range of threats to the sustainability of the fishery and proposed strategies for addressing future challenges.
NSW DPI Fisheries will draft a recreational trout strategy based on this public feedback. They say they are looking forward to working with trout fishers to determine how best to manage the various challenges facing the industry to ensure a sustainable future for this important fishery.
