Catfish Activity in Designated Swimming Area
Native eel-tailed catfish are currently breeding in this area. During the breeding season, male catfish build large circular nests from gravel and pebbles on the lake bed and actively guard their eggs and young. While normally harmless, catfish may nip swimmers who come too close to a nest as part of their natural defensive behaviour. Visitors are encouraged to avoid disturbing visible nests and take care when swimming or wading in shallow water.
