Murray Bridge Fishing
Get out doors with you family and friends, relax and while away the hours by dropping a line at one of the many locations along our riverbanks or wetlands. There are a number of fishing spots where you can catch Callop, Redfin, yabbies and European Carp.
There a great boat launching facilities for those that want to explore the river from a different vantage point and find their own special fishing spot.
If the big one doesn’t get away fry it up on one of the free barbecues dotted along our beautiful riverfront reserves.
Fishing Tips
Please remember that European Carp are considered a pest species in Australia and highly prevalent in the River Murray. If you catch one, do not return it to the water. It must be destroyed and disposed of….. they can be used as yabby bait.
