Fishing at a popular South West freshwater location is set to rise to a new level, after it's important fish ladder was repaired! 🐟😃🐟
The WA branch of the Australian Trout Foundation Inc (ATF) last month fixed Nanga Brook's fish ladder which had fallen into disrepair, meaning trout and other fish species were struggling to swim upstream.
The works, funded by the Recreational Fishing Initiatives Fund (RFIF), will benefit the many freshwater fishing licence holders who love fishing for trout at Nanga Brook. 🎣🎣🎣
A big Recfishwest shout-out to the ATF crew and the Lane Poole Reserve staff who made this possible!

Sadly, Carnarvon’s 123-year-old One Mile Jetty has been severely damaged by the wrath of ex-Tropical Cyclone Seroja. 😢😰
Recfishwest held many local fishing clinics at the jetty over the years before it was closed and shares the Carnarvon community's sense of loss for this very important land-based fishing structure.
Shire of Carnarvon president Eddie Smith summarised it best when he said: “As a local who spent a lot of my youth catching mulloway from the jetty, it’s heartbreaking.” 💔💔
As shown by the recent re-opening of the Esperance Jetty and the big numbers of those who flock to Busselton Jetty to fish every year, jetties are at the heart of those communities in which they are located. 🎣🐟🎣
