Lake Lyell (Lithgow) – Catch and Release Fishing Convention

Friday 30th April to Mid-day Sunday 2nd May 2010

Lake Lyell convention 2010 turned out to be a great success with over 100 entrants. The fishing wasn't as good as last year (85 fish recorded) but the weather was perfect with onloy one overcast day and the rest nice, sunny, windless days. The nightlife is what made the weekend with numerous bon fires and camps scattered around the bush with everyone having a good time.

Prizes were a lot more even spread this year with places won in all clubs with the See Bees taking out 1st place (again). But I think we might have to watch out for Wollongong next year if they get more anglers to attend as two of the clubs members, (Gordon & Mitchell Jobson) won the club the majority of their points.

It wouldn't have been the event it was if it wasn't for our sponsors, who donated numerous items for prizes, raffles and auctions. It would be appreciated if we could return the favour by giving them our business as well as recommending them to others. Overall it was a great weekend which was well organized due to the help of a lot of hard Working Sea Bees members. The event also raised $1000.00 for cancer research. See you there next year.
