Get your bait and fishing rod ready for the return of the Canowindra Carp Muster.
Hosted by OzFish and Mid Lachlan Landcare, this free event aims to remove as many carp as possible in an attempt to help improve the health of the Lachlan River and surrounding wetlands.
It’s free to enter and there’s prizes for the biggest carp and most carp caught, with categories for kids, teens and adults. In order to enter your carp into the prize categories, you must also collect at least 50 items of rubbish from local waterways. A prize will also be given for most rubbish collected.
The Canowindra Carp Muster will take place on Sunday, 20 July from 6am – 3pm at the Age of Fishes Museum.
Registration is essential and begins at 6am at the OzFish hub on the day.
