Hmm, I may have been presumptuous advising you of the appointment to RFNSW before the Minister made a public announcement. My first mistake?

A very big issue this month with reports on our Carp day out, the next part of Roger’s motorbike tour in the Northern Hemisphere, some fun on Lake Ginninderra with casting practice that turned out to be more, the deferred Lyle Knowles and finally our successful trip to Jindabyne.

A discussion is here on angler access and related matters, specifically the impact of Biosecurity.  In relation to the latter, I’ve been told there has been further developments in interpreting the laws related to angler access and biosecurity.  Haven’t got the details yet so will have to await next issue of Burley Line.

Some big news for me, I’ve just received notification that I’ve been appointed to the Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council to represent this region. The appointment is for three years and the council provides advice to the NSW Minister for Primary Industry on recreational fishing issues.  Steve Samuels held the position for six years and did a sterling job – I’ll do my best to keep up his efforts.  My intent is that I’ll publish here forthcoming agenda items with the hope that feedback can be received from you (and the other clubs in this region).  Also that you will assist me in understanding new issues so that they can be carried to the forum.

Any and all submissions from members for future newsletters will be appreciated anytime.
