Three more Queensland dams have been nominated to become stocked freshwater fishing destinations as part of a number of Fisheries reforms now open for public feedback.

Paradise Dam, Mount Morgan No. 7 Dam and Enoggera Reservoir have been earmarked to potentially join the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme, with fingerlings released annually into the system and anglers buying fishing permits to support the restocking efforts of local volunteer groups.

We're also seeking public feedback on other proposed recreational changes, including changes to size and possession limits for crimson and saddletail snapper, and the phasing out of Opera House traps.
