There will be a stack of fun for everyone to enjoy on the day:

- Make your own “fish hotel”
- Casting Competition
- Hook-a-Bass ring toss
- Fishing in the river for everyone to enjoy!
- Prizes and Giveaways available on the day
OzFish will also be hosting their third and final “Keep it Clean Event” along the river, so come along, bring a rod and help us keep the Manning River free of litter. We’ll have a stack of prizes and fun activities for everyone on the day.
Together we’re not just picking up litter, we are creating change and inspiring others to follow suit.
When you dedicate your time to cleaning up our shorelines and riverbanks, you’re not only preventing plastic and debris from harming marine life, you’re also creating change and inspiring others to follow suit.
Head to Keep it Clean for more tips on how to make a positive impact and be a responsible fisho.
This event is also a Yabby Trap Drop Spot. Bring down any old and unwanted opera house yabby traps and swap it for an Oar-Gee Plow lure at the event 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.
Registration is essential. We hope to see you there!
Keep it Clean is a partnership with OzFish and the NSW Department of Primary Industries. It is made possible through funding by the Recreational Fishing Trusts and Marine Estate Management Strategy. It is also supported by BCF – Boating, Camping, Fishing.
The Yabby Trap Round-Up program is an initiative of TierraMar in collaboration with OzFish Unlimited and the NSW DPI.
