- 8. Stay within bounds: Barwon River Moonie Bridge ↔ Calmundi Weir; follow all NSW regs and legal sizes.
Grab a Colly Brag Mat
- All native fish must be measured on a Colly Cod Classic / Colly Fishing Club brag mat (any year is fine).
- Don’t have one? Pick one up at the Registration Desk (Tattersalls Hotel) from 12pm Friday, or at the weigh-in station: Sat 10am–2pm · Sun 9am–12pm.
Bring any previous Colly brag mat — they’re all valid.
