All entrants were placed in a Lucky Door draw with the Seniors winner taking home $700 cash and the juniors/ intermediates winner taking home $300 in cash. Congratulations to all prize winners Thank you to everyone who supported the Carpathon and to all our sponsors we sincerely thank you for your continued support.

Proceeds from the Carpathon go to restocking Murray Cod and Golden Perch into the Murrumbidgee River in the Jugiong area. The proceeds from the 2016 Carpathon purchased 2000 Murray Cod and 6000 Golden Perch, which were released in February and April this year. The committee are hoping to match these numbers with the money raised from the 2017 Carpathon.
