25.01.2022 Welcome to our new club name to coincide with the clubs exciting new venture in Miles. The Miles District Fishing & Recreation Club (MDFRC) has recently signed a lease with the WDRC for a 17.9 ha property that lines the Dogwood Creek. Previously used as a Scouts Reserve the MDFRC will be developing the land into the Clubs base for holding monthly fishing and camping trips and be available to the public for outdoor activities. The club is now into its third year and has a st...rong active committee to head up this project. Vice President Mr. Steve Osborne is focusing on the Clubs new constitution to cover the reserve usage and encourages all family members to get involved. "The reserve will offer an outdoors area for all locals and tourists to enjoy and is close to town so a great escape for the weekends". "The first steps will be to repair the fence lines and make the reserve secure and then we will be presenting our plans to council and start securing funding to help develop the reserve" Mr. Osborne said. If you would like to join the club and help with planning and developing the reserve please get in touch with one of our committee members or email the club secretary [email protected]

There will be one main steel gate to the reserve entrance. ... If you would like to know more or view the area please drop us a line to organise a suitable time

16.01.2022 Don’t risk a fine, buy a SIPS permit before you drop a line! Did you know that it is illegal to line fish at one of our Stock Impoundment Permit Scheme (SIPS) dams without a permit? QBFP officers in Cairns recently took a trip to Tinaroo Dam and were pretty disappointed by the number of fishers without SIPS permits . Officers issued 6 infringements to line fishers and helped them purchase permits so they could enjoy the rest of their day. Permit fees help local stocking g...roups re-stock the impoundments to enhance fishing and maintain fish stocks for future generations. You can buy a permit here https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/rsa/sips-dams-and-weirs

03.01.2022 A licence to fish?! Barramundi, Australian bass, golden perch and Murray cod are some of the most sought-after species for recreational anglers wetting a lin...e in Queensland’s dams and weirs. However, most of our native fish species won’t reproduce in our impounded dams and weirs, so how can we ensure that impoundments are stocked for everyone to enjoy? Our podcast looks at how our Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme, known as SIPS, supports the stocking of registered freshwater impoundments.
