macquarie perch is listed as an endangered species, and can only be fished for in the upper yarra river. it is prohibited to be fished for in any other lakes, rivers or streams in victoria. next fish will be for the murray cod ming.. hopefully next week we go back and walk a bit further along, it looks like good cod territory abit further up stream past the rapids.
Nice one guys…that macquarie looks like an english redfin perch that has seen a ghost, he he.
yeaps fizzy, indeed the macquarie perch has a distinctive look to it and regards to its cute/adorable looks..i reckon is one of the best looking fish in aussie..ehehehe..
Hopefully this coming weekend will hunt for the murray cods and the yellow belly too..cant wait for it sunny..have a good one there..cheers mate
