What activities we do on or around the Macquarie River:
- The Lake Burrendong Classic Catch and Release fishing Comp at Easter every Year.
- Provide ongoing fingerling stocking and native fish release programs.
- Rejuvenation of riverbank habitats and waterways.
- Educational programs to promote sustainable best fishing practices with community groups and local schools.
- Work in conjunction with government authorities and fishing club organisations to provide constructive results.
- Promote our region and provide improvements to our local waterway and resources.
Why we love the river:
It is the lifeblood of our community, that more often then not is exploited by modern day life. With Native fish levels are 70-90% lower then when the country was settled by Europeans….. where will it stop?
