Best tide state to fish Fishmarket Reserve (Guildford, Swan River)

Upper tidal Swan, 20km inland and completely sheltered from ocean swell, so wind here is a comfort problem rather than a fishing one. The controlling variable is fresh water — winter rain running down the Avon pushes the bream downstream, which is why this reserve is a warm-half-of-the-year proposition rather than a year-round one. Through summer the fish sit close to the bank and the shallow flats fish best, while in winter they drop into the deeper water and the sessions get noticeably harder. The water is tannin-stained for most of the year and the flats are shallow. Tidal movement is subdued this far upstream but still matters, and the bite tends to stop when the tide does, so fish the changes.

What anglers target here

Anglers fishing Fishmarket Reserve (Guildford, Swan River) typically time sessions around the tide for black bream, blue swimmer crab, and tailor.
