Investing in your

fishing future

Every year, $8.5 million of your recreational fishing licence fees

are put to work making fishing even better by stocking more

fish, improving access and facilities, enhancing fish habitat, and

protecting fish stocks through more enforcement and education.

Your licence fees are complemented by

$35 million from the State Government’s

Target One Million plan to get more

people fishing, more often. This funding

is in addition to fishing licence fees. Learn more at http://www.vfa.vic.gov.au/feesatwork
