Campaspe Loddon Chapter
Earlier in 2021, a few members of local angling clubs in the region decided to join forces to form a local OzFish chapter to improve the health of our waterways and give the fish a helping hand. The Chapter wants to work alongside local groups to improve both the environment and fishing in the region. A foundation project for the Chapter is to enhance fish habitat at Lake Eppalock through mapping of existing habitat to help identify key locations for re-snagging efforts. Future projects also include an in-water habitat rehabilitation project for Barkers Creek Reservoir currently being developed with Bendigo & District Fly Fishers Inc. and water management authorities in the region. The Chapter also hopes to organise riparian vegetation planting and cleanups at popular fishing locations between Kyneton and Bendigo.

Tackle Loop
Tackle Loop is OzFish’s solution to provide a home for recreational fishers’ old, unwanted, and broken gear. Working with our partners, we will take in old and discarded gear before ensuring it is recycled instead of polluting Australia’s waterways or ending up in landfill.
