Join OzFish and Dunedoo-Coolah Landcare to celebrate the opening of the Riverwalk in Coolah with a carp muster and tree planting.

Carp are an invasive species due to their destructive bottom-eating habits, which places our native species at risk. A carp muster is a great way to remove them from the river, helping to improve the health of our waterways.

You can fish anywhere or at the Riverwalk in Coolah (Booyamurra St, Coolah). This is a catch and release event – all native fish must be released. Bring your carp in to the Riverwalk by 2pm for weighing. Prizes awarded for the biggest carp and most number of carp. Categories for primary age kids, high school age youths, and adults.
