Join us at the Fishers For Fish Habitat Forum this November
On the 3rd and 4th of November, leading figures from fisheries research and the recreational fishing community will gather in Sunraysia to share knowledge and ideas about the developments in native fish management.
You are invited to come together with other like-minded individuals across NSW to collaborate under the banner of ‘Learn, Collaborate and Act’. The two days will feature a range of expert speakers and site visits to nearby locations that showcase what is being done to secure the future of fishing. The forum is funded through the NSW Recreational Fishing Trusts and is presented by the Fish Habitat Network.

This event is also a Yabby Trap Drop Spot. Bring down any old and unwanted opera house yabby traps, on the Saturday between 8:30am to 9:20am and 4:00pm to 4:45pm, and swap it for an Oar-Gee Plow lure to support sustainable fishing practices. Opera house nets are now illegal in NSW and those collected will be recycled into useful products for anglers, with the proceeds being used to support habitat restoration.
