Rose River, Dandongadale

Flows from mountainous forested country through grazing land and crops, gravel and rock bed. Catchment modified by forestry and agriculture. Stream is badly silted in places and in dry years it recedes to a series of pools. Fairly accessible along most of its length and is a popular angling water. Contains mostly brown trout to 2 kg and rainbow trout to 1 kg in the headwaters. In the lower reaches, brown trout average 330g with some to 1.3 kg, rainbow trout seldom reach more than 450g. Small redfin, and river blackfish to 220g are common. Annual supplemental trout stocking by the Department was discontinued after 1991 as these fish releases were clearly shown not to be making a useful contribution to fishing.
