Crookwell River

Sourced by runoff from the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, the river rises south of Crookwell and flows generally northwest by west, joined by one minor tributary, before reaching its confluence with the Lachlan River northwest of Binda and east of Frogmore.

[11.1 kg] cod caught in the Abercrombie [River] below the Tuena bridge, as reported in our last issue.

Asked for an explanation of their disappearance from this stream Mr. Bray said the practise of sheep washing in the river was responsible for killing them.

He says that it was a simple matter to throw a line into the stream below James's Park [road fork], baited with a grasshopper, and haul out a big fellow.

He has seen huge specimens, he says, hauled out of the [Lachlan] river below Mr. William Cummings' old residence at Reid's Flat, some weighing as much as 170 lbs [77 kg].
