June 1 start for Murray Crayfish season
South western NSW fishers are excitedly gearing up for the traditional June 1 opening of the Murray Crayfish season.
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Program Leader Stocking and Fisheries Enhancement Operations, Jim Harnwell said the popular freshwater crustacean is mainly found in the Murray and Murrumbidgee rivers and their tributaries.
“Murray Crayfish may only be taken during the months of June, July and August in the Murray River between Hume Weir and the Tocumwal road bridge including Lake Mulwala and in the Murrumbidgee River between the Gundagai Road bridge and Berembed Weir, excluding Old Man Creek,” Mr Harnwell said.
