I was chatting to a guy fishing a snag-pile washed down earlier this year when we had that bit of rain. There was some pretty good activity in and around the snag.

It made me remember how during the flood mitigation project after the big flood of 1974 the council ,or the state government removed ALL the snags in local creeks prone to flooding. As well as straightening them and building overflow areas. This changed their character, no undercut banks , deep holes, etc
Maybe putting them back might be a way to help fisheries to recover.
We don't get regular flooding like we did 40 years ago and probably wont in the future.
