100 YEAR HISTORY The club was formed on 10th August 1903. In the early years the core activity was fish protection and improving the status of the Maribyrnong River. Fishing was orientated around local streams. The club secured land from the Council and members built their own clubrooms in late 1932 and had their first meeting there on Monday 3rd April 1933. We still meet in the same building today.
MEMBERSHIP The club has a strong membership base, including individuals, families, life members, juniors and country members. New members welcomed.
