involvement in and passion for the group.
Pictured in the local newspaper "The
Benalla Ensign" was our own Brad Tonkin, after securing a massive 29.4
Kg Murray Cod lure casting into the Broken River. After releasing it back
into the river, Brad said with latest research indicating a cod of such
size was able to produce between 50,000 and 300,000 eggs each breeding
season, it was important larger cod were released back into waterways. Well
done Brad.

What
is the Tatong Angling Group?
The Tatong Angling Group (TAG) was formed in
1993 after major floods had struck the Region. The group was set up when a
number of local anglers came together, in response to their shared concerns
with regard to the health and condition of these important local streams, and
how they saw them being managed. With their interest in the future of the
local catchment TAG saw the opportunity to become actively involved in the
participation in stream management.
What
has been done so far?
Following the formation of TAG, this
comprises about 60 interested anglers from the wider Goulburn Broken
catchment. TAG started building up partnerships with the Local Authorities
and Government to address the plight of the streams. Initially two sites
were selected one on each of the streams for the group to adopt To date TAG
has erected over 1.5 km of fence and planted over 2000 local indigenous
trees and shrubs at the 2 sites. Willows have also been removed and
blackberries and other woody weeds sprayed. Since then the group has in
partnership with the Goulburn Broken CMA extended its activities on both
streams.
