ANGLERS MAKE LAST CATCHES AS FISHING SEASON WRAPS UP

North-west anglers looking for their next best catch must do so before Tuesday.

The state’s annual fishing season ends after the long weekend, to give populations a chance to restock.

Rivers and streams will be patrolled by DPI officers, with those doing the wrong thing risking a hefty fine.

Fishers can still get their fix, legally, during the closure, with a number of ‘trout dams’, including Malpas and Dumaresq, remaining open for use.

The season resumes in October – a full list of rules is available on the New South Wales DPI website.
