NSW Gone Fishing Day is on again! And NSW DPI will be running a host of events to celebrate our love of fishing and encourage everyone to get out on the water. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t fished before or if you’re the keenest of anglers, Gone Fishing Day is for everyone!
 
Free NSW DPI community fishing events for everyone will be run in six locations across NSW on Sunday 14 October, from 9am – 3pm.

• Botany Bay, Dolls Point, Peter Depena Reserve
• Grafton, Memorial Park
• The Entrance, Terilbah Reserve
• Huskisson, Voyager Park
• Queanbeyan, Riverside, Trinculo Place
• Forbes, Apex Park

There is something for everyone, including beginners, who want to learn about fishing, as well as activities for the keen angler.

Free, fun-filled fishing activities at each location will include:

• How-to fish classes – rods and reels provided
• Casting comps
• Goodie bags with bonus lures
• Expert fishing tips
• Touch tanks
• Loads of kids’ activities
• Activity marquees

Snappy, our crab mascot, will also be making an appearance and handing out lots of cool prizes.
 
Once again, fishing clubs will be running their own Gone Fishing Day community fishing events in their local areas – see below for location details.
