Dust off your rods - the Charlton's Fishing Springfield Lakes Pest Fishing Competition returns on Sunday 15th December 2024. 

Come along and help reduce pest fish numbers in Spring Lake, with your chance to win great prizes!

The event is supported by Lendlease, Ipswich City Council, Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Biosecurity and Freshwater Fish Stocking Association of Qld.

It will be strictly managed under a Biosecurity Queensland pest fishing permit through fishing event management group 2 Bent Rods, to create awareness of noxious fish species and their impact on the local biodiversity.
