The Camperdown Fishing Classic is on again.

Last year the event attracted over 150 entries including juniors and sub juniors in the categories of senior, junior below 16 and sub junior below 12 years of age.

Judging incorporates the ‘KAT’ system where each species of fish is awarded points according to length of fish.

The winner is the angler with most points accrued over the whole weekend, with prizes awarded according to the total points.

All juniors receive a prize even if they do not catch a fish, which is great for fostering junior anglers into fishing.

The Classic Fish is the only award that does not depend on size, as this fish is awarded to the best fish caught taking into consideration colour, condition appearance and markings. Given some of the wonderful trout in the Camperdown region, this should be a spectacular award.

Senior entry includes entry into the competition, entry into the major draw of $1000.00, a roast dinner on Saturday night and camping at Lake Bullen Merri.

With the junior and sub junior categories, entry includes the competition, the Saturday night roast meal and camping at Bullen Merri. All juniors and sub juniors receive a prize

In 2013 and to celebrate our 10th Camperdown Classic we will have three extra draws for $100.00 gift vouchers which will be open to all entries.

There will be a BBQ lunch and breakfast available for competitors to purchase over weekend.

This year looks like being a fantastic one for great fish and fishing conditions in the Camperdown area, and with some huge fish already coming out of Bullen Merri, competitors are surely in for a great weekends fishing.
