	MWWG : Moira Lake Wetland System - Rehabilitation Project
		The Moira Lake wetland system is one of the most significant and largest wetlands in southern NSW.
		The Moira Lake system provides a range of vegetation and wetland types due to slight variations in elevation across the floodplain and resulting in differences in the frequency and depth of inundation.
		The exclusions of summer flows has the additional benefits of improving the efficiency of water supply down the river by reducing the evaporative losses from the Lake, estimated to be 1,911 megalitres (ML).

	Chronological Summary of Bedrock Geology, Madoc Area, Eastern Ontario
		The sand, gravel, clay and till overburden that currently covers the limestone from Moira Lake south to Lake Ontario was deposited by the Wisconsin Glacier which was the last of four glaciers during the Pleistocene Epoch.
		Lakes and rivers south of this line drain south into the Moira River, Black River and Skootamata River which merge into the Moira River at Tweed (east of Madoc) and then runs south and empties into Lake Ontario at Belleville.
		Considering the elevations adjacent to the St. Lawrence River in Eastern Ontario and upper New York state, it is easy to envision a wall of rock that predated the existing river channel and which would diverted the outflow from the Great Lakes, forcing it south and west, perhaps through Chicago to the Mississippi Valley.

		Alarmed, Moira Johnston Block, an author who lived on the river, Hench, and a few other river lovers decided to organize.

	Media Releases: Moira's Burning for Brolgas
		Ongoing work to rehabilitate wildlife at Moira Lake, in Moira State Forest, has previously included the careful regulation of water and engineering works, fencing out stock from environmentally sensitive areas and the large-scale culling of the fish pest European carp for fertiliser (10 tonnes of fish in 1999).
		"The new burning trial on Moira Lake, however, is specifically aimed at returning native plants to the area and, in turn, wildlife such as Brolgas and other wetland species," Mr Thompson said.
		At Moira Lake, river regulation has resulted in the dominance of a giant rush at the expense of other plants since the completion of the Hume Dam in 1936."

		For almost its whole length, the river flows through uncultivated land and access points are few, with the result that it's only lightly fished.
		On the small rivers we fish, these are frequently tight against the shore and often in surprisingly shallow water.
		On smaller rivers and lakes you can get away with an 8 weight outfit, provided the rod has plenty of backbone, but if you're after the big fellows out in the big water, you need at least a 10 weight.
