Through special arrangements with Boss Outdoors the Sep meeting will be there – and open to the public. Danny will share expert insights on where fish are most likely to be found in our local waters, along with practical tips and techniques for fishing the ACT region — especially during spring, when conditions shift and fish behaviour changes. Danny will also provide an update on ACT fishing rules and regulations, offer insights into recent stocking and research data, and discuss ongoing issues such as illegal fishing and its impact on local ecosystems.

The meeting starts 7:00 PM and you need to phone Boss to advise attendance.
