Leeton Bidgee Classic Fishing Competition

The annual Bidgee Classic Fishing Competition is held on the Murrumbidgee River at Gogeldrie Weir Park on the second weekend in March each year. The competition attracts hundreds of anglers and encourages the catch, photograph and release of native species such as Murray Cod and Golden Perch over 20 kilometres of competition waters.
