We just love this time of the year, where we get to complete the core component of our work, putting fish in the water. While we've got a few more deliveries scheduled, over half of our ordered fish have gone in the water.

With the second delivery completed on Sunday, totals for fingerlings stocked this year are as follows:
Lake Samsonvale
Australian Bass - 63,000

Lake Kurwongbah
Australian Bass - 19,000

There are still another 4 deliveries due and a couple more species to go in but it's not a bad start for the season. Certainly having the boating access scheme back operating on Lake Samsonvale has helped with available funds and we expect to add another 9 - 10,000 Bass to NPD.

We have sufficient funds raised to stock another 12,000 Bass to Kurwongbah this year. The strategy for Kurwongbah is to try for maximum stocking amounts every year, unfortunately at this late stage it appears we won't locate enough money to reach the targeted amount for Kurwongbah this year.
