It is interesting that Russell Conway and he is still on the board of Vrfish but has never bothered to come back on this forum when they supposedly represent the licenced victorian anglers and this is the biggest fishing forum in Victoria. :dn:
Maybe they utilise sites like Facebook and don’t see this as necessary.

A thread for people to question VRFish world be good here.


Or go about it in the usual way one would ask a group. By asking them directly.

These people aren’t paid pollies out to win your vote to keep getting paid. They are Rec fishos who give enough of a **** to try and better the average fishos life... get off your high horse.

Nobody is on a high horse our taxes do go towards this department and it would be nice to actually have them contact the people they are meant to support. You use this forum it is free to post is it not Ducky? So why can't they as there are 9 members on the board and not 1 of us here know any of them...

There was no high horse. This is an old dug up thread where a vr fish member answered a few questions. All I was suggesting is they could use a page for PR a question and answer about what they do and don’t. Nobody was suggesting they answer to anyone here.

Wonder what government funding they receive now or is it totally
membership driven.

What I will promise is that now that I am back on my feet, I will respond to your questions and get your thoughts on how to improve our fishing opportunities.
Cheers, Russell

I think this is the best way to start and was one of the main issues of distaste towards Vrfish on the forum.

Vrfish came onto the forum and made there presence known, but failed to show any contribution to any questions asked or issues raised by members.

I can understand that due to illness you were absent, and I hope the members take this into consideration.

Now that someone is here again and can show a presence on the forum with replies to queries made, maybe the forum members can turn a negative view into a positive one, of Vrfish and the job they attempt to undertake.
This from 3 years ago is similar to what I was suggesting.
