The three-month open season for catching Murray cray began on June 1.
“One of Victoria’s most popular catchments to go Murray cray fishing is the Goulburn, in the river above Lake Eildon, in the lake itself, and downstream through Seymour and Nagambie to Shepparton,” Victorian Fisheries Authority chief executive officer Travis Dowling said.
“The Ovens and Kiewa rivers are productive waters for Murray crays too, along with Waranga Basin.”
