The Riverina region has
the Murrumbidgee River flowing as its lifeblood. The taming of this
river with a series of weirs and dams has created excellent fishing
opportunities in the slow, deep water of the dams/weirs and exciting
fishing in the fast flowing, comparatively shallow sections.

Murrumbidgee River
Wagga Wagga
The
fast water is ideal habitat for golden perch, the protected trout
cod (which are regularly caught over 4kg) and is home to some
massive cod.
Burrinjuck Dam
Golden perch school up in large numbers during the months of
September, October and November, whilst Murray cod grow in number
and size each year.
Berembed Weir
The snaggy waters both above and below Berembed Weir provide safe
haven for a veritable carpet of cod. Berembed is a cod fisherman’s
paradise.
Narrandera
The
warm, slower water at Narrandera allows Murray cod, golden perch and
trout cod to flourish.
Yanco/Gogeldrie Weir
The weirs provide deep water for all sorts of water sports and
also provide perfect cover for giant cod to live and breed.
Hay/Maude
These
oases on the arid Hay plain are home to large numbers of cod in
excess of one metre. At certain times, daily multiple captures of
metre long cod are common.
Balranald
The
gateway to the Mallee is bristling with golden perch and Murray cod.
Above the Balranald weir the water is still and deep making for
ideal casting conditions where adrenalin charged strikes from cod
makes anglers go weak at the knees (Extended trips only).
Murray River
Lake
Mulwala/Yarrawonga
This iconic lake needs no introduction as
it’s known as the cod fishing mecca of Australia. Small to medium
fish make for an active day.
Mildura/Wentworth
Big water and big fish. Typified by few strikes when compared to
most other locations, when you get a bite, it is usually from a
leviathan of the deep. (Extended trips only)
Other Locations
Blowering Dam
This lake is famous for trophy sized goldens and swarms of redfin,
but is also well stocked with cod that grow to massive proportions.
Edward River
A
well balanced system with good numbers of cod of all sizes and a
strong population of golden perch.
Bundigerry Creek
A hidden gem near Narrandera with a wide variety of water
conditions from fast current to deep still water all within a short
drive.
