FISHING COMPETITIONS

Steve Williamson has been working as an event manager for fishing competitions since early 1995.     Steve spent 9 years on the Snowy Mountains Trout Festival Committee representing Snowline Caravan Park. In the years between 1996 and 1999 Steve worked with the Jindabyne Chamber of Commerce as event coordinator for 'Shout About Trout' which went onto win 2 local Snowy Mountains Tourism Awards and also an award at the NSW Tourism Awards. After the devastating bush fires of 2003, Steve was asked by Tourism NSW and Tourism Snowy Mountains top run a fishing related event that would help promote fishing again. The event 'The Snowy Mountains Celebrity Trout Challenge' went on to win the Judges Choice at the 2004 NSW and ACT Tourism Awards. In 2006 Steve was approached to help organise and event manage the Snowy River Shire Centenary Trout Challenge which was another huge success. Steve is passionate about promoting fishing to youth and and to families.
