[firephish]

Not sure if this has already been posted, but the latest DRAFT list of NATIONALLY invasive species has been circulated on 12 Feb for comment:

Seems rainbow and brown trout have been treated according to a “nuanced approach”, says the department. For example, trout are listed variously in category 2 in some areas such as national parks and mountain catchment areas i.e. 99% of the area they occur (and cannot be caught and released in these areas), whereas elsewhere in the country they are not categorized but still cannot be released into dams unless they have been documented there previously.

My reading is that this means NO CATCH & RELEASE fishing in the Limietberg Nature Reserve or the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park for example?

Any legal / fosaf types care to clarify?
