This means that you do not need to be the best fisherman to win a prize just participating is enough and our aim is for all to enjoy themselves regardless of ability. The major prize is in fact a draw among all the competitors all you have to do is be present to claim it at the prizegiving.

The original intention
Originally the intention of the local businesses that were the instigators was to promote and grow their businesses, but over time our focus has moved to helping defend our precious river and its fishery from demise. There are numerous threats such as intensified agriculture, human and natural interference in the ocean environment and climate change. Some we can do something about others not – but we have to try.
