Reporting Illegal Activities – Fisher’s Watch

On line Portal

Fisheries ask that you record the following information before reporting:

  • Type of activity
  • Time, date and location of activity
  • Number of people and any descriptions
  • Registration numbers of cars and boats.

Licences/Regulatory Issues

  • NSW Fishing Licence. The new digital licence can be obtained via an app – check here.
  • The Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council represents anglers and makes recommendations to the Minister on the management of our fisheries
  • The NSW Govt management of Crown Roads (specifically calls for submissions on proposed sales) is to be improved. Meantime here is the link to search for forthcoming proposed sales.
  • Victorian Fishing Licence (note that ACT Seniors don’t need a licence). Also provides a link to the nifty Victorian Fishing Smartphone App.

He particularly liked “The Flyfisher’s Podcast”.  They said “What we have in the pipeline is informative chats with some big-name characters that we can’t wait to air. If you’re Aussie and you flyfish, you’re going to love this commentary”.https://theflyfisher.com.au/blogs/news/the-flyfishers-podcast
