International Gamefish Tournament 

This has been an annual event in Russell since 1980 and is our primary fundraising event each year.  And of course a great source of adventure and enjoyment for hundreds of Firefighters, family and friends. The tournament attained "International" status in 2001 with representation from Australia and the USA.  All proceeds from the event are retained by the brigade and help us to fund equipment and other resources that help us to enhance the service we offer to the community.

The links below will give you a taste of what we've done in previous years and we hope this might encourage you to join us at the next tournament.  Details of our next event, the rules, and entry forms are all included here to assist you in registering a team.
