Big Carp Fish Out - Parramatta Park

Get ready for a fun-filled, hands on afternoon of fishing education and outdoor adventure! If you have a budding fisherperson, this event is designed for absolutely beginners and budding anglers alike.

Learn to Fish - expert anglers will be on hand to provide step-by-step instruction, guiding participants through the basics - from setting up your gear to casting, baiting and reeling in safely.

Open to all ages - this workshop welcomes kids and adults, making it a great after school activity.

We will supply the bait and additional supplies to keep everyone fishing. BYO rod or reel if you have one. Spare rods will be available for use.

Carp disposal - Learn why carp removal is important and how Greater Sydney Parklands is helping with responsible management of the species.

Awesome prizes - Parramatta Riverkeepers and BCF have four exciting prize packs on offer!
