In the last 10-12 years, club members have worked with Fisheries and several local Councils to have Fishways installed on the Lane Cove & Parramatta River Weirs. We have also been busy with Greening Australia with replanting native vegetation on the riparian zone of South Creek west of Sydney, as well as helping to remove large stands of Lantana on the Grose and Nepean Rivers.
Most recently, we have started a revegetation project on the banks of the Nepean River at Emu Plains. The club has been able to obtain funding for this project and we anticipate that the project will keep us busy for several years to come.
So, if you are a experienced Bass fisherman or just a novice and feel that getting your hands a little dirty to help our wonderful Australian Bass to survive in a wild situation is a good thing, then please join us, we can always use an extra pair of hands. This work is voluntary.
We meet bi-monthly at Northmead and visitors are always welcome.
Other activities:
- We are a Fishing Club! The Club organises fishing events each month. All our fishing events are non-competitive, just relaxing days spent with like minded fishermen.
- We have run the Hawkesbury - Nepean Bass Catch program continuously since 1988. All data collected is sent to NSW Fisheries.
- We do Streamwatch testing at 4 sites around Sydney.
