Northern Tablelands Chapter
Formerly operating as the Tenterfield Chapter, the Northern Tablelands Chapter is one of our longest-running OzFish chapters. The members of this chapter have made it their mission to educate recreational fishers on the importance of getting involved in fish habitat restoration. From restoring small creeks to protecting endangered species, this chapter leaves no stone unturned in their quest for better habitat and better fishing. OzFish members enjoy connecting with fellow anglers and the OzFish community across Australia. Many members give their time volunteering hours every year to local projects that protect, restore and revitalise your favourite fishing spots.
