Yarrawonga Catch and Release 2020.
11 Members including 2Juniors plus one non member took part on the weekend 15-16 February 2020 under hot conditions and a very heavy rainfall at 7pm Friday. We had 2 teams of 4 and 1of1 also 2 juniors.
The size were few and hard to find in the heat with small Trout Cod keeping you busy. Some “very “ large Tortoises were released and getting the hooks out was a hazard. Over 1and a1/2 day’s fishing only 6 size fish were released, 3 Murray Cod and 2 Yellow Belly plus 1Silver Perch. Our 2 Juniors had a fish each that left 4 fish for our members and one non member. 3 of our number 1 team had 4 fish.
The winning team Native Fish Australia (NFA) were far to good with 349 points. Congratulations to them. However our Family Team Philip Brandi and his children Jaxon and Tenaya took out that Trophy. Jaxon also was best male Junior and Tenaya best female Junior Trophies so all was not lost for our club as we did take out a few raffle prizes.
The Weekend was ended with a great bbq after some hot weather.Well done Native Fish Australia Vic.
A thank you to our members for supporting Native Fish with the results going to N.S.W.Fisheries Research.
