Cod balls go in to the Upper Molonglo

I think they would have been better laying the tree trunks of the willows into the water to create a more natural habitat.

Except the willows rot after a few years and/or just float away!!!

The carp will love these…

They’ve made a right mess of the river banks. If you drive over the high bridge into Yass Rd, have a look at how they’ve smashed up the willows they harvested, into great big chunks, and carpeted the ground with them. Next flood….

Already happened during the March one. Half the stuff they’d piled up was washed away.

Although it probably made it cheaper seeing as they didn’t have to cart it away, haha.

Perhaps where it washed to made habitats?

Well a lot of it washed up on Coppins Crossing, where it completely wiped out the railings, so perhaps the fish can take up residence there?

Great! At that weight they’ll most likely sink into the silt. Those that remain in place will make a convenient “swim-thru” option for carp meals.

Its good to see someone who knows more than the experts. Where can I find more people like you?

edit: I asked around, and apparently the internet is the best place. I’m off to there.

🙂

I wonder if there are any plans to re-generate the river banks with native vegatation?

The cod like hiding under structures like logs & tree roots. They will also move thair positions in relation to water temperature and rive strength, an overturned log will provide them with this flexibility, not a concrete rock in the ground.

The logs also attract food of all types for them.

I think they would have been better laying the tree trunks of the willows into the water to create a more natural habitat & then re-planted river red gums or whatever is native to this area.

More like cod kennels than balls.

As an aside, it’s nice to see some art installations that don’t resemble giant phalluses… Oh wait a sec.
