Be great if they stocked some peacock bass, barra, snakeheads or arowana in those crater lakes if the water suited them.
No chance of escaping from there either.

They are putting natives in quite a few lakes and rivers that have never had them before. The werribee river is thriving since they stocked it with estuary Perch and bass. The cod and yellas they put in Melton Res. are absolutely thriving. That's just around my area

Bullen Merri was stocked with Bass, and they're giant footballs. The depth and colder waters just make them harder to catch

Re: Trout, successful invasive species?
Bullen Merri is a baron wasteland, no structure whatsoever. All the Bass hold in one area because it has a rocky outcrop.
I wouldn't say it's the best lake to stock Bass but if you get one, you certainly know about it

Sounds like a little structure would go a long way, maybe a few decent tree branches and logs.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 8:13 amBullen Merri is a baron wasteland, no structure whatsoever. All the Bass hold in one area because it has a rocky outcrop.

Re: Trout, successful invasive species?
I've been saying that for years. It's just a volcanic crater, trout seem to thrive in there and so do Bass but they really need to put some snags in therefrozenpod wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 1:13 pmSounds like a little structure would go a long way, maybe a few decent tree branches and logs.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 8:13 amBullen Merri is a baron wasteland, no structure whatsoever.

Yup, everything is better when you got snags.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 1:52 pmI've been saying that for years.
