Permits for fishing in Queensland dams

Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries' Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) scheme requires anglers who fish in certain Queensland dams to purchase a permit before they throw in a line.

In order to enhance the local recreational fishery, money raised by the SIP scheme is used to purchase native fish fingerlings to stock 33 impoundments or dams throughout Queensland.

Impoundments are 'put, grow and take' fisheries where most stocked species will not reproduce. This means the impoundments need to be stocked regularly. The money anglers pay for their SIP goes towards management of the SIP scheme and to stocking groups for purchasing native fish fingerlings.
