Hi Truedogz great to have you back with us. I would not be at all surprised if there are a few isolated "hidden" populations of Maccas and it is probably best they stay that way!!!

The maccas have always been there in the Tumbarumba Creek. They got scarce during the Millenium Drought but they hung on. There appears to be another small population up that way which is being kept quiet.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them
