Be great if they stocked some peacock bass, barra, snakeheads or arowana in those crater lakes if the water suited them.
No chance of escaping from there either.

introduce natives to those lakes then.
They are putting natives in quite a few lakes and rivers that have never had them before. The werribee river is thriving since they stocked it with estuary Perch and bass. The cod and yellas they put in Melton Res. are absolutely thriving. That's just around my area

Probably too cold for them. Be great though wouldn't it.
Hazelwood was promising til they shut the power plant down.

Prior to salmonid and redfin, (and carp), some lakes can have other natives like cod, yellas, and bass.
But what would lakes like purumbette be like? Just galaxias and that's it?
Bullen Merri was stocked with Bass, and they're giant footballs. The depth and colder waters just make them harder to catch

Bullen Merri is a baron wasteland, no structure whatsoever. All the Bass hold in one area because it has a rocky outcrop.
I wouldn't say it's the best lake to stock Bass but if you get one, you certainly know about it

Just galaxids, as is the case with most of those wertern lakes

Sounds like a little structure would go a long way, maybe a few decent tree branches and logs.

I've been saying that for years. It's just a volcanic crater, trout seem to thrive in there and so do Bass but they really need to put some snags in there

Yup, everything is better when you got snags. :rf:
