First,
it's important to know the difference between attended lines
and setlines.
An attended
line is a fishing rod and line or handline that is within
10 metres from you and in a place where you can see it. The
line can have two hooks attached - no more.
If you
have more than the allowed number of attended fishing lines,
you've left lines in the water and gone away or you're 10
metres away from your lines, these are know as setlines. Setlines
can only have one hook and have to be marked with your name
and address or the boat registration number.
In all
NSW dams, you can use up to two attended lines but no setlines.
In rivers
east of the Great Dividing Range, the mountain range that
stretches all the way up NSW from the Victorian border to
the Queensland border, you can use up to two attended lines
but no setlines.
In rivers
west of the Great Dividing Range you can use only one attended
line and four setlines.
In trout
waters, you can use one attended line but no setlines.
If you
like trout fishing and you'd like to know more about where
you can fish and the rules you must follow, read the rules and regulations information on the DPI website. It's complicated so you might need an adult
to help.
