This Sunday, 18 October is national Gone Fishing Day. It's a great chance to get family and friends together and explore local fishing spots.
You can also register for prizes through the National Gone Fishing Day website.
Due to Covid group restrictions, Fishcare isn't running any organised events but we're encouraging everyone to throw a line in. Try to keep groups small and follow social distancing guidelines at your local fishing spot.
As we move into better weather, keep an eye out for our Summer Fishing Program in January. Prior to this, schools and community groups can contact Fishcare by email at or phone 6165 3039 to organise small fishing clinics.
