Grose River

Flowing through New South Wales, Australia, Grose River is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Grose River hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Grose River can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Striped mullet

  Use a slow, steady retrieve when using lures, as mullet are not aggressive strikers; Chumming with bread can concentrate mullet in an area.

• For Shortfin eel

  Fish near the bottom in areas with cover, such as submerged logs or weed beds; Eels are often most active at night.

• For Australian bass

  Vary your retrieve speed to find what the fish are responding to on the day, and don't be afraid to fish tight to structure.
