About Tambo River
Tambo River is a river flowing through Victoria, Australia. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Tambo River, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques
- For Bluefish
Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.
- For White trevally
White trevally often school, so locate the school and work it thoroughly. Vary retrieve speeds to see what they prefer.
- For Dusky flathead
Target sandy or muddy bottoms near structure like weed beds or drop-offs, and remember to let the lure sink to the bottom before starting your retrieve.
