Can't find that rule anywhere on fisheries website. Down here they are a declared pest with
a no return policy

I thought that they are talking about banning the opera house style pots altogether although this is still not a law as yet, I believe it is due to potentially come in as early as next February.

However I have also heard that the banning of opera style yabby traps will not affect the dams around Brisbane (Somerset, Wivenhoe) as the Platypus (which is what they are trying to protect) doesn’t live in the dams it lives in the streams leading to and from them.

I know at Maroon, I've caught a heap of red claw in shrimp traps...some really big ones too, so I don't think it will impact too much.

I heard redclaw are being caught presently in Maroon Dam , I don't know if there's any truth to this or just someone having a laugh.
