About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

The Macquarie River in Dubbo, NSW, offers a rewarding freshwater fishing experience right from the riverbank. Renowned for its healthy populations of Murray Cod, Golden Perch, Silver Perch, Redfin, and Carp, this stretch of water is particularly vibrant during dawn and dusk when fish are most active. Overcast days can also yield excellent results, as low light conditions enhance visibility for both anglers and their targets. Anglers often favour bait fishing here, utilising local techniques to entice the various species. However, it's essential to stay aware of tide movements and wind, as these factors can influence water clarity and fish behaviour. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a novice, the scenic banks of the Macquarie River provide a peaceful backdrop for a day of fishing.
