Next time there is decent rain there will be fish in Paradise. The stocking groups upstream stock Barra, Bass, Golden Perch, Saratoga and occasionaly Silver Perch. The Bass and Barra tend to bolt downstream when they get a good flow so should be good start for the Paradise Dam.
Dave.
Looking forward to the first fishing reports from the dam.
Should be interesting to see what is available and how long it will take to fire.
Another dam a bit closer for us southerners to come up to for the barra and bass combination.
What is the nearest caravan park/camping facilities and what are they like. Quality, distance and management?

Fish for the future, enjoy the present but think of your children.
it really looks as though this dam is built with a lot more cosideration to recreation and stock conservation (re. fish ladder) maybe they wont let this one get to 1%. Looks like they realise we bring a lot to the local economy as well.
not much sport in netting floating fish

G-day Trev, I think I read somewhere that they have been stocking barra & yella`s into the river upstream of Paradise Dam for years. So maybe there is a few fish already in there.
OH that`s where I read it, 2 posts earlier.
