I am the co-ordinator of the “Carp Harvesting Program” and the fly casting tuition and training in Centennial Park.
Anyone interested in more information about these activities is welcome to contact me directly.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for reiterating that – it is indeed a good move on the part of your organisation, and something which many would do well to follow – apologies if I was unclear about the need to join the Fly Rodders club in the original piece above.

The council thing was only a joke, by the way.

Dear readers,

On behalf of the Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust (Trust) we are indeed glad to see the sport of fly fishing re-emerge as one of the many actions we are taking to remove European Carp from the Centennial Parklands pond system.

Could I please make clear, however, that fishing in Centennial Parklands still remains against regulations. The Sydney Fly Rodders Association are specifically licensed to conduct this activity.

The Trust (a State Government authority as opposed to a local council) appreciates your interest in this matter, and any fly fishers should contact the Sydney Fly Rodders Association (www.sydneyflyrodders.com.au) if they would like to find out more about this activity – and fly fishing clinics that the Association runs regularly in Centennial Park.

Regards

Craig Easdown
