Trout introduction fuels Canberra’s thriving lake fishery
A Canberra Canberra region report traces the trout program from early failed attempts in Australia to a successful, self perpetuating fishery. It notes initial introductions in Tasmania and Victoria, later spread to NSW and ACT streams. The piece highlights the Ballarat hatchery, transport methods, and the notable Allport Street tribute to Merion Allport, with rainbow and brown trout flourishing in Molonglo, Queanbeyan, and Murrumbidgee waterways and Lake Burley Griffin, though some mining area water quality limits breeding.
