Blackwood River mouth boundary reach

River

The Blackwood's short outlet reach at the coast, with a map of the river mouth and links to check the current Western Australian fishing rules.

At the Blackwood’s mouth, plan for the stretch in front of you. This map covers the short outlet reach at the coast, not the long inland river. Advice for an upstream trip will not tell you where to start here.

The outline helps you locate the reach; it does not tell you which fishing rules apply or grant access to a bank. Before choosing a spot, check the current Western Australian rules for your location, target species and fishing method, and seek local advice on access and conditions.

Water and habitat

The map follows the Blackwood’s short outlet reach where it meets the coast. DPIRD includes it in the coastal South West reporting area. That grouping is useful for finding the reach, but it is not a substitute for the fishing rules.

Access and safety

Do not infer access from the mapped river line. Confirm land tenure, launching and any local closure before you go, and treat the mouth as coastal water: tide, bar and wind decide the day.

Regulations

Check the current Western Australian recreational fishing rules for the species, method and date, and confirm whether any local closure or protected area applies at the mouth. The South West region boundary is a reporting geography, not the source that decides the rule. Use the authority’s current guide and rules search to check the exact location you intend to fish.
