Hi WWRSA Fishos, Friends, and Supporters,
What a fantastic day we had at the 2026 Fishing Competition! Despite the weather not being entirely in our favour, we were lucky to have a safe fishing window that allowed competitors to get out early and return before the winds picked up around midday.
Thank you to everyone who adapted so well to the conditions.
