Buffalo River, Dandongadale
Above Lake Buffalo
The river flows through forested country and cleared land, gravel
and rock bed. Stream is becoming more silted. Low flow in summer.
Upper reaches completely dried up in the 1982-83 drought. It is
believed that trout cod may be present, but surveys so far have
failed to produce any specimens. Some trout spawning occurs in this
section of the stream but recruitment varies markedly from year to
year. Popular stream because it is readily accessible for much of
its length. Contains brown trout average 450g, maximum 2.2 kg, more
plentiful downstream, with abundant river blackfish and redfin to
100g, with occasional Macquarie perch and Murray cod in the bigger
pools.
