Fish populations have increased
Rangers discovered a 30m mesh net, 2km upstream of Nelligen, during a routine patrol.
Netting has been banned in the River for three years since its tidal waters were declared a habitat protection zone.Many tributaries are important nursery areas for juvenile fish.
Fish populations have increased since the net ban, providing an improved catch for recreational fishers.The rangers are seeking information about the illegal netting, which attracts a fine of up to $22 000.
