Hey guys, I am rarely on strike hook but if anyone is interested in fish in dams/private fisheries, then I have a facebook group called Private Fisheries Australia group where we talk about all things private fisheries and fishing. cheers Trav.

They're nice little 'bows wilda.. should grow quite nicely..
 
Spot on, check for the Cormorants for sure, they'll clean out a dam in no time at all.. can eat up to three times their own body weight per day..  
 
They've cleaned out many dams here not long after being stocked..
 
cheers

Thanks Guys
 
 
 yes BB,
 
 If/ when the dam gets low again I have a lot of ideas to help the little ones 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Have been down for a few looks today but no sign of any fish. But more importantly no cormorants, has been a bit of a campaign of different  types over the last few weeks to move any that have been seen on to different places.
 
Will be back down there this arvo just on dark to check on things
 

Hey Craig,
 
Great to see you have got some fish in and good to hear that they are swimming around nosing the surface, sound like you have some happy fish. Might pay to go down to your pond in the morning and following mornings (if your not at work) to check out if the see if the fish are swiming right on/breaking the surface, the fish may school up so that would help to spot them. Let me know if they are. Also, check to see if cormorants are drying their wings in the nearby trees. Just show a bit of presence if they are. With those massive daphnia, your fish should be putting on some weight soon. Keep us updated about your fish, cheers
