Warragamba River

Running through New South Wales, Australia, Warragamba River is the kind of river that fishes well at the right water level. Drop a lure or fly into the bubble line at the head of a pool and let the current swing it past holding fish. Long, slow glides at Warragamba River hold the bigger fish; the broken water above and below holds the smaller, more aggressive ones. Stay quiet on the bank — river fish are easily spooked.

Fishing Techniques

• 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.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Speckled longfin eel

  Speckled longfin eels are nocturnal feeders, so fish during the evening or night in areas with plenty of cover like logs and rocks; use a strong line as they are powerful fighters.
