The King River in Victoria has brown trout, rainbow trout and Murray cod recorded in it.

The one condition note worth carrying is for the lower river. After weeks of hot, dry weather the water warms, and the resident trout are more concerned with surviving the heat than with feeding. Expect that stretch to fish hard in those spells, and keep your expectations modest on a day like that.

The live conditions section lists the gauges tied to this water. For season, bag and size limits, read the current Victorian Fisheries Authority guide before you fish.
