NSW FISHING GUIDES
NSW fishos flocking to the water this summer should grab a copy of the latest editions of the NSW Recreational Saltwater and Freshwater Fishing Guides.
The guides include information on top fishing spots, fishing fees, catch and release fishing, safety tips, knots and rigs, fishing rules, legal lengths, bag limits, protected and threatened species, and tide charts.
“They also explain how fish licence fees are invested back into fishing through the Recreational Fishing Trusts of NSW which funds various projects such as the provision of fish cleaning tables at popular fishing spots, the mooring of fish aggregating devices (FADs) offshore to promote new fishing areas, and fish restocking programs across the state,” said I&I NSW recreational fishing manager, Bryan van der Walt.
Copies of the guides are available from Industry & Investment NSW Fisheries Offices, and from most fishing tackle shops. They can also be downloaded from www.industry.nsw.gov.au/fisheries or can be obtained by emailing fishingguide.fisheries@industry.nsw.gov.au.
