This site has been set up to inform people what Bass Sydney Fishing Club is all about, as well as keeping our members up to date with current events.

BASS SYDNEY IS A CLUB DEDICATED TO THE CONSERVATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN BASS.

A BRANCH OF NATIVE FISH AUSTRALIA AFFILIATED WITH COUNCIL OF FRESHWATER ANGLERS

Bass Sydney has had success with several projects over the years, the main ones being the fishways built on Liverpool, Lane Cove and Parramatta River weirs and the Hawkesbury Nepean "Basscatch" where all data collected over two days fishing in October and February each year is sent to fisheries to be uploaded to their database giving a clearer picture of fish movements year to year. The club has also been involved with Greening Australia where we planted over 400 trees and shrubs on a section of bank of South Creek at St. Clair. This we hope will be an ongoing project with many more plantings in the future.

Recently the club has been working with the Parramatta City Council on having fishways built on the weirs in Parramatta, hoping to once again have significant numbers of Bass in the river being able to move freely to and from spawning. We are also working with agencies concerned with the Hacking River with the hope of having a fishway installed on the Audley Weir in the near future. We are also involved with the "Streamwatch" project on the Hawkesbury Nepean and Lane Cove Rivers. We also intend to carry on with the Basscatch data collection and intend to plant some more trees on the banks of South Creek.

We are a fishing club that is environmentally conscious and we work to help Australian Bass survive.
