Steve Samuels (local angler and our Vice President on NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers) was appointed earlier this year to the Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council. This body has a role to represent anglers and to make recommendations to the Minister on the management of our fisheries. He has disseminated to CAA the minutes of the first two meetings. DPI also have them on their website.
Suffice to say that these early meetings have focused on establishing practices. More meaty subjects will be addressed in the future I’m sure and Steve will no doubt accept suggestions for topics.
Steve encourages everyone to continue to read these minutes. They will contain a lot of information on how our fisheries are managed and how the council are advising Fisheries and the Minister how to protect and enhance our sport.
