Kiewa River Basin
Kiewa River
This basin carries one main river, the
Kiewa River, which flows
from the Bogong High Plains, northwards to the Murray River. Several
water storages have been constructed on the upper reaches of the
river, as part of the Kiewa Hydro-Electric Scheme. These storages
contain mainly brown trout with rainbow trout occurring mainly in
Rocky Valley Storage. Brown trout are abundant and larger than
rainbow trout which usually reach only 450g with the largest fish
being caught in the autumn. Trout populations in streams are
self-sustaining, and there are ample spawning facilities. Native
fish are very scarce. The land on both sides of the road between Mt.
Beauty Township and
Rocky Valley Storage is owned by the SECV. This
includes the popular skiing resort at Falls Creek. There are no
camping facilities and the road is unsuitable for caravans. The
Kiewa River below Mount Beauty and
Rocky Valley Storage provide the
best angling for trout.
