Bag and size limits and gear restrictions apply with fishing. You should familiarise yourself with these rules before fishing. Information is available from your local fisheries office, many bait and tackle stores or NSW Department of Primary Industries. For freshwater bag and size limits, visit Freshwater bag and size limits (nsw.gov.au)
When fishing in NSW waters, both freshwater and saltwater, you are required by law to pay the NSW Recreational Fishing Fee and carry a receipt showing the payment of the fee. Payment of recreational fishing fee can be made online at Recreational fishing | Service NSW
Animal care and welfare is important. For guidelines on how to humanely harvest fish and crustaceans, visit Humane harvesting of fish and crustaceans (nsw.gov.au)
