The Railway Hotel Fishing Club will be holding an open waters competition this long weekend.
Weigh-in will be held in the hotel beer garden at 3pm on Monday, all welcome.
The ANZAC Shield fishing competition held annually between Cowra, Wyangala and Penrith was down on numbers this year with Penrith not being able to field a team.
Considering the rising costs in fuel, food and accommodation, this is unfortunately quite understandable (but they promise to be back in 2009).
Cowra and Wyangala had its own share of problems with neither club able to field a junior side.
So if anybody is interested in joining the club, or has ideas about improving membership numbers, please feel free to come to the weigh-in and share your ideas (men, women or junior).
Results from the ANZAC Shield:
Total amount of fish weighed in over the weekend – 43.158 kilograms
Heaviest fish – Murray cod 2.144 kilograms
Wyangala won the men’s with an average weight per fisherman of 1.64 kilograms, Railway 0.87 kilograms
Cowra won the ladies with an average of 5.384 kilograms, Wyangala 3.98 kilograms.
