Corryong Creek, Corryong
Called Nariel Creek upstream from the junction with Simpson Creek. A
shallow creek flowing through improved pasture, gravel bed. Erosion of
banks in the mid to lower reaches due to removal of riparian vegetation
and trampling of banks by stock has resulted in the stream being badly
silted in the lower reaches. Excellent trout. water in the upper reaches
but deteriorates below Nariel. Contains mostly brown trout to 500g, some
rainbow trout to 500g, redfin, river blackfish and occasional Murray
cod. Spiny freshwater crayfish also present. Rainbow trout increase in
weight each year, from an average of 100g in the spring to 350g in the
autumn. Corryong Creek section. Small tributary streams such as Rawes Creek and Star and Jones
Creeks contain large numbers of small trout.
