One Body to Control Blackwood River Trout Planting
Chief Inspector Fraser outlines a plan for a single controlling body for all Blackwood River trout operations. Bridgetown, with options to include Boyup Brook Nannup and Balingup, would form a Blackwood River Trout Acclimatisation Society or Bridgetown may take controlling authority if others decline. The aim is coordinated planting to provide sport for fishermen as trout reach a worthwhile size.
