25.01.2022 Last weekend we had our first in house Comp of the year at Burrendong and we heard it was fishing tough but when we worked out where they were and what they were biting on was well worth it. Even though it dropped almost 1ft over night, the fishing was on again Sunday morning. The Yellas were all soccer ball size and still full of eggs. Follow ups and so many dropped fish made it a good weekend for some. Biggest yella went to Norm Wilson at 620, 2nd Grant Roberts at 610 and 3rd Chris Wykes just shy of 600 with a new PB of 597. A couple of carp and catfish were landed and only 1 Redfin. Chloe Chandler biggest carp at 670 and runner up Brydie Chandler at 620.

25.01.2022 Staff Development Day at Burrendong Dam yesterday. Only fish for the day, however apart from the wind a great day. Rosco we still have a lot of work to do. Looking forward to the next one. Might have to make this a regular thing.

24.01.2022 Quick fish today and it’s still a little hard to find them but still managed to land this beauty... Beats working any day of the week! Next in house comp 16th-18th at Burrendong.

24.01.2022 This weekends code for our in house comp is 48. Please have this visible on your brag mat! Good luck

23.01.2022 Results are in for the weekends comp at Burrendong and the fish are a bit slow going but still managed to land a 25 all up. Although we were targeting Yellas it was good to see 5 cod landed and released immediately all roughly 500-600 in size. Bugsy took the biggest yella measuring 575 with a close 2nd 545 Only 2 Redfin were landed. Next in house comp will be at Burrendong again on the 16th October.

22.01.2022 Doing a club polo shirt order if anyone would like a larger size after the Covid lockdown drinking sessions (kids not included in comment)! Post your order below, cheers!

21.01.2022 First tagged carp has been landed half hour into the Comp worth $500 Congrats to Bugsy Ahsee Next carp entered is worth $400

21.01.2022 Photos from todays carp muster in conjunction with Dpi gone fishing day 2018 was held along the Bell River in Cameron Park Wellington, Bugsy Ahsee caught the only tagged carp for the day.

21.01.2022 This could be an easy $100-$600 if you spend an afternoon on the Bell River in Pioneer Park chasing Mud Marlin for some easy cash. Contact the page or Norm if you happen to snag one. All you need to do is take a picture of the Carp with the Tag and tell us what identification number is on the tag. There is no entry fee! Happy hunting...

21.01.2022 For all steam tinnie tours on the Macqaurie River contact the club

19.01.2022 Hi All Last hit out before the cold really sets in. Good time to target those big fish this time of year. Hopefully we see a couple come up this weekend. ... In house comp this weekend.

This will be our last in house comp for the season and will kick off again in late August. Good luck and see you on the water.

19.01.2022 Awesome effort team! The much needed funding will go to restocking the Macquarie River for the second year in a row and hopefully many more years to come...

17.01.2022 Last Sunday a few members went in the Pirtek Fishing Challenge which is Australia wide. This challenge raises much needed funds for leading medical research organisations; the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and The Peter Duncan Neurosciences Research Unit at St Vincents Hospital. Congrats to Jared Wykes who caught the biggest Yellow Belly on a purple feral cat measuring 59.8cm This comp has some great prizes and recommend this event to all keen fishos next year.

17.01.2022 River was a bit quiet over the weekend but it beats working thats for sure...

17.01.2022 Better late then never but here are a few pics from Wyangla on opening weekend of Cod Season..... Always a pleasure fishing with this crew!

16.01.2022 The team from TRFC are currently on clean up duties along the Macquarie and Bell River for clean up Australia Day... worst thing is the amount of rubbish so far, best thing is finding a Feral Cat!!! Winning!

16.01.2022 Well done mate!

15.01.2022 A big thanks to NSW Fisheries for an early Xmas present to the Macquarie River in Wellington. Approx 6000 Cod fingerlings released today. Thats a total of 11000-12000 released in the last week. The future of the river is looking promising There were also extra releases in DUBBO and Narromine.

14.01.2022 Just a reminder 9.30 - 940 today at the low level boat ramp for anyone interested in the fingerling release!

14.01.2022 Welcome to the start of Cod season. I Started the year with a cracking 85cm river fish. Hopefully there are a few trips planned for this weekend and looking forward to seeing all those trophy fish and if you cannot find the fish, finding good company to share the time with is just as valuable. Now that I have your attention there are a couple of things coming up to add to your calendar. ... This year we have decided to have our annual Christmas get together on Saturday 14 December. We are running it a little different this year given the current water conditions, drought and busy time of the year. For the fishos we will be running a low key in house fishing Comp kicking off from Friday 13.12.19 midday and closing with weigh in at 4pm on Saturday 14.12.19. We will commence our AGM at 4.30pm and at the conclusion of the AGM have our annual presentation and carry on with a few drinks. At this stage we have penciled in the Lion as the venue however will confirm all details as we work things out. As you may or may not be aware we have two annual plaques hanging in the Lion for the biggest yellow belly and biggest cod. These fish can be caught anytime throughout the year by any member (it does not have to be in a comp) however the fish must be caught in our local waterway of the Bell River, Macquarie River and Burrendong Dam. Cod must be caught in open season and yellowbelly cut off was last week. You have until Saturday 7th December to register any fish and can do so by submitting photos to Grant Roberts, Jarrad and Chris Wykes, Norm Wilson and Bugsy Ashee. Any Cod caught from the 1.12.18 to 30.8.19 are eligible subject to the above conditions All cod and yellow belly caught from the 1.12.20 are eligible for next year. Hope that all made sense and looking forward to catching up with everyone at the Christmas get together.

13.01.2022 Photos from our Christmas comp held on the weekend out at Ponto Falls where the fishing was great for some and not so good for others(Adam and Muzz) is 2 names that come to mind. 19 cod and only 4 yellow belly were caught and all were released to live another day.Grant Roberts won the biggest Cod at 750 and Darcy Tierney the biggest Yella at 505 It was a great finish for 2018.Hope to see you all back next year

13.01.2022 Well its that time of the year where the Club has wrapped up an awesome year of fishing, telling lies and drinking loads of beer! Over the weekend we held our last comp of the year, our AGM and awarded our members with the biggest Carp, Yellow Belly, Cod and our champion angler for 2018. First up a big congrats to Daniel Stanford for taking out Champion Angler for 2018 weighing in a total of 20m 681mm of fish which included all species. Runners up were Jared Wykes 14m 4...61mm and Bugsy Ahsee 3rd with 12m 489mm. The Club total was 81m 481mm. Bugsy took out the Biggest Carp which is proudly Sponsored by Outback Angler. This award will be on show at Outback Angler. The next award goes to a bloke that really loves his fishing and with only entering one comp this year Aaron Speechley has taken out the Biggest Yellow and Cod. Aaron landed a monster Cod at Burrendong measuring 105cm and 59cm for the Yella. Yesterday we held our AGM at the Cow and Calf and our new Committee for the year is as follows. President - Norm Wilson Vice President - Bugsy Ahsee Secretary - Grant Roberts Treasurer - Jared Wykes Publicity Officer - Jared Wykes Fish Weigh in Officer and Chief Cook - Chris Wykes Earlier this year we released 8500 Cod fingerlings into the Wellington area of the Macquarie River. This Wednesday we will releasing another 3000 into the Macquarie followed by Yellow Belly in February next year. Please respect the hard work we put into restocking the river and dont keep everything you catch. Obviously we dont mind anyone having a feed but give the fish a chance to breed so everyone can enjoy a day on the river! A big thank you goes out to all our sponsors and businesses that have donated so much time, effort and items to help us get through the year. Outback Angler Cow and Calf Lion of Waterloo Tavern The Fishing Factory Orange Gobsmacked Lures Quains Liquor NSW DPI Fisheries Gone Fishing Day Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all!

13.01.2022 For anyone interested we will be releasing approximately 22,000 yellow belly fingerlings into the Macquarie River Monday morning 23rd, 9am at the low level boat ramp in Wellington. All this is possible because of meat raffles at the Lion of Waterloo every Friday night and without your kind donations we are another step closer to getting our stretch of river firing again. We have seen an increase in catches over the last few years and look forward to the future of fishing the Macquarie. Please no drought or global warming comments, just enjoy your Xmas Take care over the break and tight lines!

13.01.2022 Results are in from the weekend. We had a few boats fishing the river and the dam. All had to work hard for their fish but the river boys proved better on the Yellowbelly front whilst the dam boys dominated with Redfin. The big Green fish managed to allude everyone. Big shout out the Jayden (pictured) boating his first fish and what a cracking Yellowbelly it was. We have an Outback Angler prize pack heading your way Jayden. ... Our winners of either a $30 voucher at Cusacks Butchers or Outback Angler went to Andy Byrnes - Yellowbelly - 475mm (River) Bugsy - Catfish - 532mm (River) Chris Wykes - Redfin - 372 (Dam) Cod and Carp went unclaimed. We also had three lucky door prizes for all those that got out or sent through a photo of the weekend. Shaun Gowens, Norm Wilson and Grant Roberts all have a lure heading your way. I will get prizes out to the winners through the week. Thanks for a great weekend on the water and looking forward to the next outing which will be on the weekend of the 22/05/2021, might need a decent fire for this one !!!!

04.01.2022 Hi All. Quick reminder. Monthly meeting tonight. 6.30pm at The Grand. See you there.

03.01.2022 Stuck for Christmas ideas or last minute stocking fillers!!! Plenty in store to choose from and if you still cant decide there are Gift Vouchers available!!!

03.01.2022 Twin Rivers Fishing Club released 22,000 Golden Perch Fingerlings into the Macquarie River this morning at different locations.It was great to see the young and old getting involved especially Alice who went for a swim with the fish.

02.01.2022 What a great weekend on the Dam! Wind, storms, sun and plenty of laughs. With over 50 fish entered for bragging rights in our last in house comp of the year which will determine our Grand Champion for 2018.... We couldnt have asked for a better ending. Daniel Stanford landed 21 wish for the weekend and took out the biggest Redfin (385mm) and Catfish ( 330mm). Daniel from now on has lost his long time mentor and wing man due to Bugsy Ahsee being out fished once again by Dan...... Hang in there Bugsy his honey moon period will soon come to an end! Aaron Speechley and Brodie Speechley made a quick trip from Mudgee to join in on the fun and ended up with 1st & 2nd place in the Yella Belly. Brodie was leading the way with his first fish of the morning measuring a whopping 585mm but was knocked off the leaders board by Aaron who snagged a 590mm on the same stretch of bank 10 minutes later. Jared Wykes came a close 3rd in the Yellas with a 570mm. The fish were a bit hard to work out but if you put in the hours you get results. Some boats were trawling in and out of snags 60ft deep getting results while others were trawling on plain banks in 5m of water. Yabbies are still producing good fish but I think it just depends how many people have hammered that snag before you. Thanks to everyone that made the effort and came out for a great weekend.

01.01.2022 Member of the Club Aaron Speechley with a 105cm thumper caught at Burrendong last night... Well done
