The cards on this page show the creek’s flow, gradient and bank cover. Use them to choose where to start, and read the water on the day.

Brown and rainbow trout are both recorded in the creek and both have been stocked into it, so expect either on any day. Redfin are recorded as well. The stocking chart shows when fish went in. Murray cod appear in the stocking records, but the trout are the better reason to come with a fly rod.

Settle the rules first: take any season for the creek from the current NSW trout guide. In our experience, a day with clear water and mild weather is a good one to pick, and after heavy rain a creek is worth a day or two to drop and clear.

As a general approach on a small creek, a good bet is to fish upstream, keep low, and make short, accurate casts, giving each spot a couple of drifts before you move on.

The access card names the access sites. Treat them as locations, not a statement of permission, and respect any fence or sign you meet on the ground.

As on any bush creek, tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back, carry water and a small first-aid kit, and watch your footing on wet rock and undercut banks. Keep an eye on the sky, and never wade a crossing you are unsure of.

Before you fish, read the current NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development freshwater and trout guide, check its trout-water lists and closed-waters list for the creek, and take any season, bag and size limits and licence requirements from it.
