Murray codference
Summary
The Murray Codference is an annual all-day celebration of native fish and fishing that has been held annually at Shepparton since 2016.
The conference style event brings together 300-600 recreational fishers, fisheries managers, researchers and resource managers annually to learn all about our native fisheries and how they’re tracking, plus tips and tactics to improve fishing success from Australia’s best anglers.
The Murray Codference is a free event funded by the State Government’s $35 million Target One Million plan to get more people fishing, more often, in more places.
