Upper Murray River
Basin
The upper Murray Basin is drained by numerous small streams which
comprise part of the headwaters of the Murray River. All the rivers,
except the lower reaches of the northern streams, flow through
inaccessible, heavily forested mountain country. Trout populations are
self-sustaining from natural spawning and are able to meet angling
pressure.
Brown trout are predominant, with good numbers of reasonable-sized
fish present. Rainbow trout are plentiful but seldom exceed 350g. Larger
fish of both species are more often taken in the autumn. The two best
trout waters are the Cudgewa and
Nariel Creeks.
Koetong Creek is being
stocked with trout cod as part of a program aimed at establishing
additional viable populations of this endangered native fish species.
