Mount Druitt Swimming pool will be filled with 600 trout next
month for the annual Blacktown fish in.
Blacktown City Mayor Stephen Bali MP said the popular
event is an opportunity for children to learn how to fish in a
fun and safe environment.
“For 27 years people have been coming to the pool to fish –
it’s a really quirky idea that has kept going and going,” Mayor
Bali said.
“It’ll be a great opportunity to teach the little ones how to fish,
it’ll be almost impossible not to catch a fish.”
Held over the weekends of 2nd-and- 3rd and 9th-and-
10th August, 600 trout will be fair game for all of those fishing
enthusiasts wanting to try their luck at casting a line.
The trout will arrive from the mountain waters of Sandy
Waterfall Creek, on the Goobarragandra River just outside of
Tumut.
“This is a very popular event with most sessions already sold
out,” Mayor Bali said.
“I recommend you register as soon as possible for a spot at
this unique event.”
Spectators are also welcome, entry to the pool is free
however a ‘fishing station’ costs $15.
This event is held under a permit from NSW Department of
Primary Industries.
