There were 1,944 applications received, with 634 successful parties drawn. Successful party chiefs will be notified by mail. Anglers must purchase their Crown Reserve angling licences by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 29, or their Crown Reserve waters will be reassigned to other anglers through the mini-draw process.
