I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

We have been sending out entry forms for our Conjola Classic 2026 which is on Friday the 27th of March and Saturday 28th of March 2026.

If you attended our Conjola Classic last year you should've received your entry form. If you attended the Eucumbene Trout Challenge 2025, we sent the entry forms to your cabin organiser.

If you haven't received your entry form or would like to come along please reach out to us.

It's shaping up to be another great year with sponsors and prizes. They will be announced over the coming weeks.

We are also excited to continue our efforts in raising money for the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, we are currently at $82,067 since November 2023.

I hope everyone has had a good start to the year.

We have our Conjola Classic coming up on March 27th and 28th. Entry forms will be out next week, the first week of Feb. If you entered last year we will send you an entry, if you would like to enter please reach out and we will send you an entry form.

We will be raising money for the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation. Last year we took our total donated to date to $82,067.

Also for the Conjola Classic this year we will be setting up and trialing a group WhatsApp to keep everyone updated throughout the event.

A big thank you to all who attended the 2025 Eucumbene Trout Challenge and a very big thank you to all our sponsors and people who donated items for our auction and raffle.

We were able to raise money from a donation from each entry fee, business sponsorship, raffles, guessing comps and the silent auction, plus the donation and help from the Buckenderra Holiday Village. All that combined helped us raise $25,385.65 for the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation.

This year we raised $3000 at the Bunnings BBQ in July (all the bread and sausages were donated).

With the 2025 Conjola classic, the 2025 Eucumbene Trout Challenge and the Bunnings BBQ, plus some donations from people along the way, it brings our total since November 2023 to a whopping $81,909 donated.

A big thank you to everyone who helps out, supports the events, attends the events and follows us. We appreciate it so much and are looking forward to the Conjola Classic in 2026.

We just completed our second Eucumbene Trout Challenge to raise money for the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation.

We are still finalising the donation amount and will let everyone know how we went over the next few days.

Day one of fishing we had extremely dangerous winds which kept most anglers out of the water and the ones that did brave it had a tough day out. The second day, the weather was amazing and conditions were perfect to be on the water, but the fishing still proved to be tough for most.

Each person entered the lengths of their best 5 trout in the adult and junior class, plus their biggest individual brown trout and rainbow trout.

Congratulations to our winners:

Overall champion:
David Tinworth with 5 trout for 259cm

Junior champion:
Rhyder White with 5 trout for 187.5cm

Biggest Brown Trout:
Dennis Sandrone 60cm

Biggest Rainbow Trout:
Rick Nieuwenhuis 42cm

We would like to thank Jana, josh and the team at the Buckenderra Holiday Village for their hospitality and efforts once again.

I just wanted to put up some info for everyone who is attending the Eucumbene trout challenge next weekend.

The briefing is still on Thursday night 16/10/25 at 6:30pm at the BBQ area near the cottages. If you can't attend, let us know so we can make arrangements to get your tournament bag to you.

Unfortunately this year we will NOT be having a BBQ at the briefing, the only dinner provided will be the tournament dinner on the Saturday.

Please make sure you bring your Eucumbene trout challenge or Conjola Classic brag mat, we will only accept photos on these brag mats. Your tournament bag will contain your angler number for this event.

If you don't have a brag mat, we will have some with us for a $10 donation.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact us. Please share this around to anyone you know that's attending.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Thanks
Casting for a Cause team.

Hi everyone,

The Eucumbene Trout Challenge entries closed on Friday last week. We will have a great turn out this year with 97 entrants.

We have two small cabins that aren't filled, so if anyone wants to come, let us know by Thursday and we can squeeze you in.

We have had great support once again from local businesses supporting us and sponsoring the events. We will put up a list of all supporting businesses in the next few weeks as it gets finalized.

We also would like to thank Daiwa, Shimano, Samaki, lowrance and Wigston lures for their support again this year and the prizes they have donated.

All money raised will be donated to the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation.
