Recreational Fishing Forums 2024
Come join us at one of 12 free forums in July and August to talk all things fishing.
You’ll get the chance to hear from experts about what we’ve been doing to make your fishing even better!
The forums also offer you the chance to talk face-to-face with our staff and share your ideas for projects that’ll make a real difference in your patch.
There’ll be presentations from fisheries managers, scientists, and local Fisheries Officers, followed by question time and further discussion amongst those attending. There’s no need to register your attendance, just come along on the night and join in the conversation.
