Restocking the River

RESTOCKING THE RIVERS
2010.
It was all organised. The Kyalite Happy Hookers were going to have a Comp on Saturday 6th of March. Sunday morning was scheduled for the Annual Fish Release followed by a comfy feel good dinner and meeting.    However Murray Cod Hatcheries rang and said the fish were coming down Friday and had to be released that afternoon.
Panik!!!   Totally disorganized it was a call to arms and with the help of many club members and customers the KYALITE PUBS’ ANNUAL RIVER RESTOCKING WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
In total 4040 Golden perch and 1515 Murray Cod were let go into the Wakool and Edward Rivers at Kyalite.
