Fisheries Victoria held 13 recreational fishing regional forums across the state in May and June of this year.
The forums were deemed to be a great success, with a significant number of anglers from different demographics in attendance.
Anglers had the opportunity to have their say about how to grow recreational fishing in Victoria and learn more about what Fisheries Victoria is doing to improve angling prospects.
There were a number of great suggestions made by anglers this year and Fisheries Victoria is now investigating how it can act on those ideas and bolster recreational fishing across the state.
Fisheries Victoria says it fishing forums is part of its commitment in the Coalition Government’s $16.2 million Recreational Fishing Initiative.
Forums held in 2011 were also successful with passionate anglers presenting some great ideas for new programs to make their fishing spots even better places to fish.
