MUDGEE YABBIES & NATIVE FISH
The yabby.
An Australian icon; great survivor and opportunist.

What would a fishing trip be without yabbies for bait? If you don't catch a fish, you can always eat the yabbies and come home happy. Everyone has a yabbying story to tell.

"I have always been interested in yabbies, but it wasn't until I did a TAFE course on freshwater aquaculture that I really came to appreciate them. So then I decided I'd grow them commercially. It took considerable time and effort to gain approval from NSW Fisheries, and a lot of work and dollars before the ponds were ready to stock."

Advice on growing yabbies - don't give up your day job!

We mostly supply bait sized yabbies to fishermen, dam stock to farmers and larger ones to local, regional and city restaurants. They're also fascinating pets for your aquarium.
