VRFish Survey | Help VRFish return access to public land © VRFish

If you've been locked out or unable to access a fishing spot on public land in Victoria, we'd love to hear from you.

VRFish are calling on recfishers to share where they've been locked out or blocked from accessing public land in Victoria. Whether it's a locked gate, fencing without styles or gates, 'Keep Out' signage, blocked unused roads, closed public tracks or anything else restricting your access to public land, we want to hear about it!

VRFish will be using your responses to compile a list of the current access restrictions or access issues faced by Victorian recfishers so we can advocate for better access to these spots.

Please complete the survey here.
