2022-2023 Season
Hi fishers - we are now back in our Club Rooms at 462 North Road and back to a full Championship season with the usual 4 trips per category of Bay, Estuary, Freshwater and Surf (total 16 trips, plus any extra social trips and impromptu excursions).
Come along to the Club Rooms on the first or third Wednesday of each month and join in the action.
2021-2022 Season
We are into our (COVID abridged) 2021-2022 season, and it's great to get out with members and friends again.
We have suspended our Club Championship for this season, and instead we are fishing 2 trips per category instead of the usual 4 trips per category (i.e. 2 trps for each of Bay, Estuary, Freshwater and Surf = total 8 trips) from January to June 2022
See you on the water!
2020-2021 Season
We completed our (COVID abridged) 2020-2021 season, and while the weather has been wayward, it's still great to get out with members and friends when we can.
Western Port whiting in particular was a stand-out this season.
And we celebrated with an excellent presentation lunch at the Springvale RSL again.
Congratulations to Michael P for taking out the championship.
2019-2020 Season
In spite of COVID, we still held a shortened competition.
Club Champion was the evergreen Peter Manning, while Judy Green was Ladies champion and runner up in the Club Championship (next year Judy!!) and William Poles won the Junior Aggregate.
We had a great presentation Lunch at the Springvale RSL. and Congratulations to all winners.
And for me, this was the standout memory - an 11kg Mulloway when fishing for bream in the Werribee River - on 8 pound line!!
2017-2018 Club Champion - George Green
Evergreen George is yet again our Club Champion, adding yet another cup to his 15 Championships over the past 50 years - a fantastic effort!!

Michael outfished other members in many areas and is a very worthy Champion for the 2016-2017 season.
Well Done!

The Ormond Angling Club community are deeply saddened by the passing of Don Ellis, our Club's esteemed President, Life Member and past Club Champion. Don has been our President for a total of 16 challenging years and was looking forward to hosting the Club's 80th anniversary celebrations. He encouraged others to participate in angling and was himself very active in administration, through the Metropolitan Anglers Association and VRFish. His support and guidance will be deeply missed by his fellow anglers. Our condolences to his family and friends, and may he Rest In Peace.
