The Best Fishing
The Mildura region is home to many well-known waterways, the Murray river is famous as a playground to both novice and serious anglers who are keen to land the legendary native Murray cod. Try your luck from the riverbank or boat.The Murray Cod is Australia’s largest fresh water fish and can grow to 1.8 metres in length. The female lays up to 50,000 eggs at a time and can live for 60 years. They rely on large timber structures in the river for their home. Fishing enthusiasts on the Murray River around Mildura have reported catching Murray cod weighing over 100 kilograms.
Please note that there is a closed season for cod during their breeding season, from 1st September to 1st December each year.
Kings Billabong is bordered by a wide stretch of the Murray River and is part of the Murray flood plain.
Cast a line in the tranquil still waters that are known as a ‘fish nursery’
.Merbein Common, once the site of the original pump that serviced the Merbein irrigation area,
is now a great place for barbecues, boating and fishing, swimming and walking.
The many creeks and inlets are an ideal spot to pop in a shrimp net for some bait- you may even catch a few yabbies! Yum!

Don’t Forget Your Fishing Licence
 If you are planning a day of fishing, make sure you have a current fishing Licence. In New South Wales a Freshwater Fishing Licence is required to fish in the Murray River. You can purchase your fishing Licence from us at the start of your holiday.
