Tilapia Tournament

REGISTER TODAY FOR THE TILAPIA TOURNAMENT!

A fun and free competitive event to remove the invasive fish species from the Warrina Lakes waterways. Tilapia are considered a pest as they outbreed out local native species and dirty up the waters which make it harder for other species to co-exist.
