Best Tide State to Fish Barham River (Apollo Bay)
The estuary is sheltered from ocean swell and fishes in most weather. The mouth is intermittently open, so when the sand bar shuts it there is little or no tide here. After heavy rain the river runs fresh and dirty, which can push fish down towards the mouth. Calm, overcast days and low light suit lure fishing for perch. Clear, bright days are tougher — fish deeper and lighter. The Barham drains the Otways, which are green for a reason, so the river is rarely short of fresh water to colour things up.
