TROUT POLICY REVIEW

 

VRFish hosted a workshop in November 2007 to provide interested members of the recreational fishing community an opportunity to give their views on the future issues for Victoria's recreational trout fishery.

Following the workshop outcomes, VRFish has released a draft policy for Victoria's recreational fishers to consider.

All comments will be considered and a finalised policy was presented to the 5 July 2008 VRFish State Council Meeting.
