The event - organised by the Boondooma Dam Fish Stocking Association in conjunction - will have adult and junior sections and numerous cash prizes for each weigh-in period. A licensed bar, BBQ and food and drink stalls will be operating for the duration and accommodation for competitors is available at the adjoining Lake Boondooma Tourist Park. Competition entry fees are $20 for adults and $5 for children and all competitors will need to have a Stocked Impoundment Permit to take part. Last year almost 10000 keen anglers wet their lines for a share of the $50,000 in prizes on offer and large numbers of campers packed the dam's camping grounds. This year organisers expect similar numbers or higher. More details and/or nominations? Phone 0417-717-324 or send them an email. Want on-site accommodation?
