About Fitzroy River
Fitzroy River cuts through Victoria, Australia and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Fitzroy River — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques
- For Japanese meagre
Target Japanese meagre during low light conditions or at night, and work lures slowly and methodically near structure.
- For Yellow-eye mullet
Use berley (ground bait) to attract Yellow-eye mullet to your fishing spot, improving your chances of a successful catch.
- For Southern black bream
Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.
