Mother nature gave us some amazing weather on Saturday for the Carpathon at The Cape in Jerilderie. The sun was shining, the grass was green from the recent rain, and 73 people registered for the event! The fishing started off a bit slow, but there were eventually some good catches, and a cumulative total length of carp caught on the day was 959cm (9.59mts).

A huge thanks goes out to the Jerilderie Fishing Club who supported YACTAC and the Refreshing Rivers Program on the day. These blokes were amazing. They cooked the BBQ, supplied the loo, and bought along a couple of golf buggies to run around and measure the fish on the day. Thanks to Charli Carp for the generous donation of two Charli Carp fertiliser packs.

‍

And the biggest thanks goes out to those out to everyone who showed up and had a great day. There were lots of kids about, and I honestly didn't hear one kid crying. They happily fished, climbed trees and eyed off the prize table! Spread the word as we are hoping to make this an annual event. Although next year it would be okay if the flies stayed home and didn't join in on the festivities!

And a big thanks to Transgrid who supplied us with a grant that allowed us to purchase the awesome gazebo.
