Shoalhaven River, The Upper End (Nerriga/Braidwood) Options

[Spudly]

Was questioning a few weeks ago about what fish would be buzzing around chasing smaller school's in waist deep water in the shoalhaven. The main reply you guys gave me was Mac Perch, and since then all the bridges and causeways have had signs puy up saying that mac perch in the area are protected and not to be caught taken or eaten.

Just thought id let you know..

Also, to add, the creek next to my dads place (jerricknorra and the Corang River) have fish also, goldfish (the coloured carp) and supposably some trout have been stocked? Was watching fish jump at duck the other night but could not seee what they were as light was to dim, so tried a few lures and baits with no success, was thinking might stock some trout or somthing myself and see what happens?
