| Margaret River mouth has several good fishing spots including the headland and less accessible beaches and holes across the headland. In the months of May and June the waters are alive with large schools of Australian salmon on their annual spawning run. October to May is the prime period to flyfish for black bream and other esturine species. A four wheel drive vehicle will provide access many of the better spots - some of which invole rough tracks and driving on beaches. The better spots in the area produce consistant salmon, tailor, occasional mulloway, and a variety of smaller fish. |
