A number are closed, though note that fishing (and boating) are considered seconday activities and have a more relaxed control.
CAA normally doesn’t provide advertisements (except for recognising our tackle shop supporters, especially when we get mate’s rates for raffle prize acquisition) but this post is mainly an announcement rather than advertisement. There was some sad news when we heard Tumut River Brewing Company was going out of business. It has often been a Saturday evening option in our annual Tumut event; next year 16-18 May (thanks Stefan).
The good news now is they are reopening! https://the-riotact.com/tumut-river-brewing-co-to-reopen-after-former-staff-buy-up/830286 so we may be OK this year after all.
A full report in next Nov 2024 Newsletter, but on our way home we did strike a problem.
Goodonya team, especially Owen with the handsaw and Claude’s skilful driving.
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.
Fri 22 to Sun 24 Nov
Entries open next week ie Mon 14th

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
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.
A few photos and short report on Facebook
