Buckland River, Porepunkah
Flows through forested country, gravel and rock bed. Lower
reaches are badly silted and erosion, siltation, gravel and water
extraction have reduced the available fish habitat. Joins the
Ovens River near Porepunkah. Catchment has been extensively mined for
gold. Area around Buckland Junction and downstream has been greatly
modified by widespread mining and gold dredging. Contains mostly
brown trout in the headwaters, average 230g, better fish between
450g and 750g in the lower reaches, average 350g with occasional
fish to 2 kg, some small rainbow trout to 300g, river blackfish to
160g, and small redfin in the lower reaches. Also abundant spiny
freshwater crayfish. Annual supplementary stocking of rainbow trout
by the Department of Primary Industries in the stream section above the Mount Buffalo Road
bridge was discontinued after 1991 as these releases were not making
a useful contribution to fishing. A popular trout water and fishing
is good throughout the year, late evening and night fishing often
being most productive.
