About Fitzroy River (Willare Bridge / Camballin / Fitzroy Crossing)
Best tide state to fish Fitzroy River (Willare Bridge / Camballin / Fitzroy Crossing)
This is a wet-and-dry river first and a tidal one second — the tide only matters below Willare, where it moves the salty water and exposes mud and sandbars. The dry season brings low, clear-ish pools and passable tracks. The wet turns the Fitzroy into one of the biggest floods in the country: in January 2023 flow across the 15km-wide floodplain at Fitzroy Crossing was estimated at 60,000 cubic metres a second, among the largest flows ever recorded on an Australian river. The build-up and run-off either side of the wet fish best for barra but are the hardest months to get in. The water is turbid for most of the year, so fish structure and moving water rather than sight-casting.
What anglers target here
Anglers fishing Fitzroy River (Willare Bridge / Camballin / Fitzroy Crossing) typically time sessions around the tide for barramundi, king threadfin salmon, blue salmon (blue threadfin), and mangrove jack.
