What to Stock

[Reils]

hi there was hoping someone would be able to help me.
We have property in Tara Queensland and were wanting to stock our dam (which is 40m x 40m x 5m deep) with fish buut are unsure on what to put in it.
I now that there are a lot of bugs and tadpoles in the water and the last timei took a swim we had leeches in there as well.
Would someone be able to advise me on the best type of fish and quantities.

Thank you

Where is Tara exactly? sounds northish? anyway before you put anything in make sure it has a healthy population of smaller fish as a food source and lots of structure for them to shelter in.

Thanks to Timmy and Jeremy for there prompt replies.
Jeremey - Tara is between Dalby and Chinchilla.

I will certainly take a look at the DPI site as suggested.

Thanks once again.

Between Dalby and Chinchilla, Yellowbelly, saratoga and cod are probably an option. I think the rivers out that way are western flowing. They may allow you to stock bass as well, not sure though, you would have to check.
