Elvire River

Running through Western Australia, Australia, Elvire 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 Elvire 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 Southern black bream

  Use light line and fluorocarbon leaders for stealth, as black bream can be easily spooked in clear water.

• For Bluefish

  Bluefish are aggressive; use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs and retrieve lures at a fast pace to trigger strikes.

• For Australasian snapper

  Use berley (chum) to attract snapper to your fishing spot and hold them there, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
