Things to remember:
-
Keep watching the float!
-
As soon as the float goes under you should strike. Not too soft, but not too hard either.
-
If you catch a big fish, you may need to use a landing net to bring it in.
-
Once caught, fish should be unhooked and either returned directly back to the water or placed safely in a keepnet.
-
Do not fish while boats are passing. Once they have safely passed, wait until the water has settled before casting off again.
-
Stay safe. It's safer to fish as part of a group, and children must always have the permission of a parent or guardian.
-
Before you go fishing you need a rod licence if you are 12 years of age or older. You also need permission from the fishery owner/angling club.
