NSWCFA Interclub Fly and Lure Fishing Meet 2023
Next meeting of NSW CFA. The next quarterly general meeting of the NSWCFA will be on Saturday 18 February via Zoom.
This season still holds opportunity for some good club fishing, still time to get out and bag some fish and provide great interaction with other Canberra Anglers’ members. There is however an event on the horizon which would allow us to interact with some new people from further afield in a friendly competitive fishing meet.
I would like to promote this new event, or in any case a resurected event, that will encompasses fishers of the greater NSW region, to be held at the Glenbawn Dam environs, near Scone in the Hunter Valley.
The event has in the past been seen as quite prestigeous, there are trophies on offer. Have a look at the website for further details in order to decide to join me and participate.
The event is the annual INTERCLUB MEET as organised by the CFA in years past. I would like to “captain” a team from our club to participate in the event being held in mid MARCH.
So I am asking for a show of interest to form a group of representatives from our club to be involved and join me.
The 2023 Fly and Lure Fishing Interclub Meet is being run by the CentralCoastFlyRodders on behalf of the NSWCouncil of FreshwaterAnglers. The Meet will be at Lake Glenbawn and surrounding streams from Friday17-Sunday19 March 2023.
Full details of the Interclub Meet 2023 are available on the CCFR web site:-
http://www.centralcoastflyrodders.com.au/
Go to the CCFR website, click on the Interclub banner heading where you will find links for General Info, Program and the competition rules for Fishing, Skish (Plug) Casting and Fly Casting.
Although this is a fundraising event for the NSWCFA, the costs have been held to a minimum. There is a registration fee of $50pp to cover the major cost, that of providing the two meals, Saturday BBQ lunch and Sunday brunch.
Accomodation is on an individual basis however.
Please get back to me with an indication of interest or any relevant querries.
I hope you all had a great holiday season and caught up with friends and loved ones. I trust that most of us would have taken the opportunity to also wet a line of your choosing. The committee are setting up our club night and fly tying program for the next quarter and are interested in your thoughts of topics you would like covered and your interest in presenting to the club or hosting fly tying with a fly of your choice. Its great to hear about club members adventures, lessons, tips and tricks. Please email committee@canberra-anglers.asn.au with your thoughts or volunteering for one of the club night events.
We currently looking for a presenter for our 8 February meeting….any volunteers?
