ANNUAL PHOTO FISHING COMPETITION 2026 IS NOW UNDERWAY

This competition is being run to encourage members and their families to get out and enjoy the marvellous resource we have on our doorstop by taking a photo of your catch and entering this in the competition. Also, to gain maximum points you will need to target different species, which will hopefully encourage anglers to expore fishing opportunities they have may have not considered.
