Reel In The Fishing Fun This Gone Fishing Day

October 16, 2025 by Roxane Manley

A Free community event is being held at Forbes Lake Forbes Waterpark this Sun­day, 19 October with activities kicking off at 9am.

Gone Fishing Day is the perfect opportu­nity to get outdoors, cast a line, and make the most of NSW’s world-class fishing loca­tions.

Whether you are a first-time fisher or chasing your next big catch, we want eve­ryone to get involved in Gone Fishing Day to enjoy the benefits and thrill of fishing.

Aspiring fishers are invited to come along to one of the free events hosted by the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) this Sunday to take part in a beginner-friendly workshop, get your hands on some help­ful resources from the Fishcare advisory trailer, and even a few free giveaways, to help build a lifelong hobby.

Gone Fishing Day is supported by the DPIRD and with funding from the Recrea­tional Fishing Trusts, as part of the ‘Fish for life – Building a healthy fishing future’ initia­tive.

To find out more on the DPIRD Gone Fishing Day community event or book your place in one of the free fishing sessions, go to: www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/recreational/resources/go-fishing-nsw
