Email dramas

Our email server has been blacklisted by hotmail.com, live.com and outlook.com ie the Microsoft services.

Anyone with an email address on those servers will likely not receive emails from anyone with an address that ends “@canberra-anglers.asn.au”.

We are working to restore services but are not confident. At this point other services like gmail, yahoo and internet providers don’t seem to be effected.

More Activities Open to the Public at Gaden Hatchery

Jayden told me yesterday about a kid’s workshop at Gaden this Sunday. I wondered whether he was referring to the Go Fishing/Open Day on Sun 12 Oct, but no …

After being constrained due to their major construction work, Gaden has burst forth with activities open to the public. There’s a whole new bunch advertised here focussed on women and kids https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/fishing-workshops/kids

Last day for our Fly Casting – Sun 29 Sep 10AM

Flycasting for the public final day is on the water at Lake Ginninderra. North/Western end of Diddams Close off Ginninderra Drive -35.226164 149.070104. Nengi Bamir Beach near the boat ramp adjacent to the dam wall.

We can provide rods, but you’ll need to bring your own flies. Call in to Boss Outdoor Canberra . Please get barbless hooks, or at least crush them. Makes it much easier to remove in the unlikely circumstance of hooking something other than a fish.
