Club Activities.
Fishing Field days - are usually held on the weekend following the general
meeting. Locations for the fishing field days range from Kalbarri in the north to Esperance on the south coast and include
Rottnest, plus all points in between. Usually the field days further from Perth are held over a long weekend. A local field
day is held each month for members who are unable to attend the trip away.
Dry Casting is instruction and competition in distance casting and accuracy casting on a
grassed area and is usually conducted on the first Sunday morning of each month. It is an important activity in the development
of casting skills used when fishing anywhere.
General Meetings - are held on the second Wednesday of each month. We have an
instruction period covering a wide range of subjects including fishing techniques, preparations for the next
fishing trip, fishing tackle, fishing rigs, etc. The management committee meets monthly and reports directly to the general
meeting.
Safari - Once each year, the club selects a location, usually a good distance
from Perth, for a fishing "Safari" of about one week's duration. Members on these trips learn a great deal and
develop their fishing skills. Safaris are a great way to get to know fellow club members.
Social Events - the club conducts social activities during the year,
culminating in June with the annual dinner, dance and trophy presentation night.

The Club is managed by a Committee and all members operate under
a Constitution, a set of Competition Rules (97 kilobyte PDF file) and

Some years ago, a summary of the Club's History up to 1994 was
prepared by one of our members. With nearly fifty years' of Club history, there's a lot more too - so keep checking for updates.
The Club believes it has a role in passing on it's members comments and experience in commenting on important
issues affecting recreational fishing in Western Australia. Hopefully, our Club Submissions
will help to look after the interests of all Western Australians.
