The Seabees Fishing Club are excited to return to stunning Lake Lyell for our annual ANSA Convention, running from 22–24 May 2026. We’re looking forward to hosting all anglers from ANSA clubs across the state as well as non ANSA members as we come together for a great weekend on the water — and hopefully a fish or two. With big bass, trout, and a location close to Sydney, Lake Lyell continues to be a fantastic competition.
This year we’ve expanded the competition categories, bringing back the “Longest Lurecast/Fly” and “Longest Land‑Based Capture” divisions. We’ll also again be awarding male and female prizes for the Mystery Length Fish, adding an extra layer of fun and suspense to the weekend.
