How old is that Jindabyne or Eucumbene trout?

 

Ever caught a fin-clipped trout in Eucumbene or Jindabyne? If you have, you can determine its age by the position of the clipped fin. Every year thousands of trout are fin-clipped by volunteers at Gaden Trout Hatchery so that the age group can be identified. Different fins are clipped to indicate the year.

The chart below, courtesy of Fisheries NSW, shows the fin-clip location for recent years.
