Re: Albert park lake
The stockings happen in the second and third school holidays. The are pan size and good
fun for kids of all ages. And if you do a search on this site you will see plenty more on the yellow belly population and techniques. But I’m not sure if I would eat anything from there. That’s up to you.

Re: Albert park lake
The lake has been cleaned over the past decade. If not, it wouldn't be able to support populations of rainbow trout and silver perch. Surely, the gov't wouldn't stock the lake with ready to eat fish if it were polluted...we hope...... :fish22: :water:

This is from the Parks Victoria Website

Parks Victoria encourages the 'catch and release' method of fishing but European Carp (a noxious fish) must be removed from the lake once caught. Fish caught in Albert Park Lake are not considered suitable for consumption.

Re: Albert park lake
I had too much faith in the Vic gov't. I will eat my words. At least that is safer to eat than the fish in the lake.skouta wrote:This is from the Parks Victoria Website
