Our yearly family fish in opens this weekend and the Mount Druitt Swimming pool will be stocked with 600 trout.
Held over two weekends, the 26th Blacktown Council Family fish in is once again a sell-out, with families ready to tackle their fishing stations at Mount Druitt Swimming Centre.
“All sessions have been filled and we are looking forward to seeing lots of people having lots of fun together,” Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said.
“I am proud to be the Mayor who kept Mount Druitt Swimming Centre open,” Mayor Bali said.
“For 26 years people have been coming to the pool to fish – it’s a really quirky idea that has kept going and going,” he said.
Spectators are also welcome and entry to the pool is free.
Mayor Bali said fisherman should not worry about the pool being fished out.
300 trout have already arrived from the mountain waters of Sandy Waterfall Creek, on the Goobragandra River just outside of Tumut, and a further 300 will be added to the waters of Mount Druitt Swimming Centre, next Wednesday.
The fish in runs from 5pm to 8.30pm on the next two Friday and Saturday nights (August 3, 4, 10 and 11).
