Meppstas 5,021 Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 This was another of my late season spin sessions in a small tannin stream & it was great to come across a freshwater lobster. They were once plentiful in the rivers/streams here in Tasmania but due to very little catch rate restrictions they became scarce in the rivers/streams. Now they are a protected species that carry a $10,000 fine if taken from a river/stream. cheers Adrian (meppstas) Rybak, Mickyj, Hunter69 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Kelvin, seeing a freshwater lobster is something that doesn't happen all that often now days and always great when one does come across one. Platypus are also another one that I love to see in a river/stream too, thankfully there still here in reasonable numbers for now. cheers Adrian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
