Canberra Anglers Association

Photo of the month

The Canberra Anglers Association has a long history dating back to immediately after World War 2. Its constitution summarises its goals as:

The objects of the Association shall be:

Meetings are held monthly (except for December and January) on the second Wednesday of the month starting 8pm at the Weston Club near Cooleman Court Shopping Centre in Weston. Meetings generally seek to avoid administration and focus on a guest speaker. (In December a meeting is held, but is typically a barbeque held at a local fishing spot)

Fishing events are generally held monthly except for the Christmas break and the depths of winter. Other events such as fly tying instruction are held frequently. Of particular interest is the annual Fly Casting training days held each year on the Sunday of the three weekends preceding the opening of trout fishing in streams (October Long Weekend). They are held on the lawns near old Parliament House and in the past the final Sunday was at the Eucumbene Trout farm to try the skills on the water - time will tell whether the on-water segment can continue.

The club is affiliated to the NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers http://www.freshwateranglers.com.au/ and is a foundation member of the Capital Region Fishing Alliance http://www.crfa.org.au/.
