The Guyra Anglers Club and the St Kilda Fishing Club have both received $4000 grants to replenish local dams with Australian Bass.
The grants were secured through the Community Native Fish Stocking Australian Bass program which sees two dollars in funds for every one dollar raised by the community to stock native fish in public waters to enhance local fishing.
Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan said the restocking program will not only benefit the club, but the wider community.
“The New England region is renowned for its fishing, so it’s important that we ensure our fishing stocks are healthy and regularly replenished,” he said.
“Well done to the Guyra Anglers Club for taking the steps to raise their own funds and then receiving an additional grant through the CNFS Australian Bass Program.”
St Kilda Fishing Club president Paddy Rice welcomed the funding.
“Our club has been around since 1970,” he said. “We always do our best to restock our local dams and waterways and this grant will allow us to continue that tradition.”

Going strong for 100 years
