Trees for Fish Day
Mother nature always gives freely and asks for nothing in return so it is always great to give something back. Yesterday I helped plant 400 trees on the banks of the Tweed River. Some native fish rely on river bank vegetation to provide up to 40% of their diet! Insects, frogs, lizards, birds and other fish are all attracted to this type of habitat so it is important we replant areas that have been cleared. OzFish Tweed River Chapter is dedicated to doing just that and also aims to undertake all types of projects that improve fish habitat in the Tweed Valley.
Of course I never miss an opportunity to wet a line so it was great to get out on the water afterwards and hook up a few bass. The river looks good but could certainly do with a flush of rain to wash away the weed that is floating throughout the water column. Nevertheless we had a great day! Looking forward to the coming warm weather, the insect life and the surface bites it will bring 😉
OzFish Tweed River Chapter is looking for volunteers. If you are interested in helping restore fish habitat we would love to hear from you! Email ozfishtweedriver@gmail.com
