Online Fishing Competition
Grab your rod and your mates and head out to the rivers in our region for our Online Fishing Competition! Try your luck at hooking the big fish and enjoy fishing at your leisure. To enter, simply take a photo of your legal-sized catch and send it to liz.turner@longreach.qld.gov.au with your name, age, and category. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors and compete for some fantastic prizes!
Competition starts Saturday 14th September, and ends Sunday 29th September 2024.
Here's how it works: Once you catch a fish of legal size, snap a photo of your catch next to a measuring stick. Email the photo to lizt@longreach.qld.gov.au along with your name, age, and category. Feel free to submit as many entries as you'd like in each category.
