Can you fish at Riverton Bridge on the Canning River?

Yes — it's a family-friendly bream spot with a jetty and shallow sand-and-mud flats. Black bream are the main target, with flathead, herring and tarwhine also on offer. Fish the rising tide with light gear for the best of it.

What fish can you catch at Riverton Bridge?

Black bream are the headline, especially when they move shallow onto the flats to feed in the warmer months. You'll also find flathead on the sand lanes, herring and tarwhine off the jetty, yellowfin whiting on the sand in summer, chopper tailor in autumn, and the occasional mulloway after dark.

Is Riverton Jetty Park good for kids?

Yes — there's a playground, flushable toilets, a boat and canoe launch, and Lo Quay River Cafe right on the bank, plus shallow water for a first fishing session. Keep an eye on little ones around the jetty edge and the drop into the channel.

Can you go prawning in the Canning River at Riverton?

Western school prawns have been restocked in the Swan and Canning rivers since 2013, and scooping them on warm summer nights is a river tradition. The prawn run moves through the Canning in the warmer months. Check current DPIRD rules and closures before setting a scoop net.

When is the best time for bream at Riverton Bridge?

A rising tide at dawn or dusk through spring, summer and autumn, when bream move up onto the flats to feed on prawns and small crabs. Slack water is slow. Accurate, quiet casts to the weed edges and rocky patches do the damage.
