savo3 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Im pretty sure that anybody is allowed to fish any river. As long as you stay below the max water height the river cant be owned by anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy72 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) yeah in NSw some land owners can own the river, mostly its crown land - you CAN fish if you are on the river bed regardless if private or crown owned river bed there is a right of access that supercedes the rights of the owner. ( this does not mean you can access to the river via their property.. it only means you are allowed on the 'river bed'. its the high water mark, not the flood level. asking for access helps everyone though as we all never actually stay on the river bed all day and you never know they might tell you a better spot . its the idiots building fires camping and taking guns that the farnmers hate. thats why they lock gates to public through roads and put up incorrect warning signs about access/ tresspassing and private property etc i hear fisheries are working on sorting out access thas been made difficult or illegally impossible, keep your eyes out for that. cheers grant Edited July 1, 2013 by jimmy72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
