Catch and Release Cod Season Opening 2013


On the NSW side of the Murray at Collendina State Forest near Snake Island for the Murray Cod opening season which started on December 1. I moved my trip here after the extensive storm damage during March this year around Lake Mulwala and in particular Kyfins Reserve means that great camping spot remains closed. I think we found another good one.
