Wet weather couldn’t dampen high spirits and great catches during the Michael Clarke Memorial Fishing Competition at Wyangala.
The Wyangala Danglers Fishing Club hosted the event, bringing together members of the Cowra community to celebrate life, fishing and a good yarn shared between mates.
“Michael grew up in Cowra and was a kind and fun member of the community,” the fishing group shared online.
“Michael loved nothing better than spending time at the dam fishing, swimming and relaxing with family and friends.”
While more than 55mm of rain on Saturday wasn’t what one may describe as ‘relaxing’ the competition, which ran from Friday night to Sunday afternoon saw Brian Howarth take out Overall Winner for the competition.
