We dont want anyone to overdevelop the Daly catchment ~ but we would be happy to dam other rivers and creeks systems for man made lakes and stuff up their eco systems like what has happened in the eastern and southern states
judging by the reponses so far it must make sense to

NO DAMS NO DAMS NO DAMS NO DAMS NO DAMS NO DAMS NO DAMS
If the sole reason we want to dam a natural river is to catch a fish....well we arent thinking straight IMHO.
Geez i am fired up today!

Re: More man made dams for NT sportfishing?
Do we have to to assume its in a catchment area directly upstream from a river?
Why not use locations like the hill ways out the back like adelaide river hills. Sure its in the vacinity of the the daly etc but surely there wouldnt be an influence to either daly nor adelaide rivers etc.
Whats the margaret river done for us lately? Stick a dam stream of that!
DYOR - im not qualified as a scientist nor advise the mythbusters on a consultancy basis. Lol

I think the focus would be free water for the publics consumption? Dunno havnt read any proposals. But itsinmeblood, many billabongs close to town are on private, pastural or indiginous land. Bit tricky to get access etc. Good business plan for any investors exploiting a new water source for entry fee, ie lake bennent.

Lets open up the other dams we have first. Lake bennet and Darwin river dam are both good to go why risk destroying an eco system when we already have places that we could fish.
