It has been suggested that it is time we had another fishing trip. The first weekend of Nov looks pretty good. I am happy to hear suggestions of a good destination – Burrinjuck? Blowering? Mulwala?

There are a number of members with boats with room for some members without boats. If I can get an idea of who might be interested then we can firm up plans then.
