'Go Fishing Day' this Sunday
Everyone's gearing-up for the inaugural 'Go Fishing NSW Day' this weekendMake sure you’ve got your tackle rigged and ready to take part in the inaugural Go Fishing NSW Day to be run by the Department of Primary Industries at six locations across the state this Sunday, December 6, 2015, from 10am-3pm.
Whether you’re a keen fisher or a novice, the Go Fishing NSW Day promises to deliver a range of fun-filled activities including free 'Try Fishing' sessions, casting competitions and displays.
Fishing is a fun, outdoor activity for the whole family. If you have ever thought about trying fishing or are already a keen fisher, get down to one of the six locations for the Go Fishing NSW Day.
The six Go Fishing NSW locations include:
>> Kurnell, Sydney, Kamay Botany Bay National Park (at end of Captain Cook Drive)
>> Nowra, Greys Beach on Shoalhaven River (Fairway Drive)
>> Coffs Harbour, Boambee Creek Reserve

>> Ebor, Dutton Trout Hatchery (Point lookout Road)
Free seafood tastings will be available at Coffs Harbour, Kurnell and Nowra while hatchery tours will be offered at the inland locations.
The free 'Try Fishing' sessions (for ages 5 and up) will be held every hour during the Fishing Day (10am-3pm). Just register on the day at your local event. There’s no need to bring your own fishing tackle as gear will be provided for the sessions.
