SMALL WATERS STOCKING PROGRAM

A program of stocking ongrown or advanced yearling trout in small waters (normally less than 5 hectares surface area) in, or adjacent to, population centres, the waters being accessible and safe for both junior and disabled anglers.

School holiday periods are usually targeted for these releases, with the majority of the releases being made to coincide with the second and third semester holidays when water temperatures are best suited to trout.

In most instances rainbow trout are stocked as they are normally bigger than brown trout at that time of year and are reputedly easier to catch by inexperienced anglers.
