Trout anglers are reminded the annual closure of all flowing waters in NSW for trout fishing will come into effect on the June long weekend.
Please refresh yourself with current rules/regulations that apply for the area that you intend to fish including the restricted access changes to the Eucumbene River around the Denison camping area.
A further reminder that the annual fishing closure to protect Australian bass and estuary perch began back on May 1 and is in effect until August 31.
