The Lake Burrendong Fishing Classic with $50,000 in prizes is expected to draw numbers of more than 3000 people alone together with other visitors who will enjoy the leisure activities.

Matt Hansen, who is the president of the event, said 64 businesses from across the central west have supported the event.

"Our top anglers can win cars, boats. There's heaps of prizes and great fun and friendship.

"The event begins with a briefing on Friday afternoon at 4pm and people can then begin fishing or start Saturday morning," Mr Hansen said.

"We'll be presenting the winners at 3pm on Sunday afternoon. We're reminding fans we have a huge fireworks display on the Saturday night which will really be a family event.

"Entries should total somewhere between 1100 and 1300 which is sensational.

We had a record year in 2013 and who knows how many we will get this time."
