Come Fishing 20th November
« on: November 13, 2010, 07:13:14 AM »
 Come Fishing Next Saturday , Kids Fishing Clinics , Fly Fishing Clinics , Prizes
Next Saturday the 20th November Sofala Carp Blitz is happening ( Sofala is about a 30 minute drive from Bathurst NSW ) Mudgee side of the bridge at Sofala , 7.30 am to 4.30 pm , bring the kids and let them participate in a free fishing clinic run by Education Officer Brett Smith from I&I ( NSW Fisheries )abley assisted by Fishcare Volunteers , they will learn to rig a rod , cast , identify fish species , how to handle fish and heaps of other things , Brett has fibreglass moulds of native fish which he uses to show the kids the different species of native fish .
Kids do not need their own fishing gear as rods and reels are supplied !

Learn to fly fish with Member of Federation Fly Fishers Master Certified Casting Instructor Peter Morse " Wildfish " and Certified casting instructor Dave Rutar , again you do not need your own fly fishing gear as fly gear will be available for your use ! Fly Fishing for carp would have to be one of the most successful ways to target carp in clear water !

Dont have a fishing licence ? you can get a licence there !

Peter Hanrahan " Madfisher " the Golden Guru will be there , get some tips from Pete and Sally how to consistently take natives on fly as well as trout , Pete and his wife Sally would be one of the most succesfull fly fishing anglers I have the pleasure to know and Sally one of the best fly tyer's!

Catch carp and weigh them in to be in the running for some great prizes , top quality fishing gear , and prizes from Pure Fishing , Kubota , Country Energy , Skilled and others .

Camp over for the week end , there is plenty of public access spots to the Turon River and excellent camp sites , the river has a nice flow in it and it is clear and easy to polaroid some big carp at the moment .

A raffle will be drawn at the end of the day
