Upper Murray River Basin

The upper Murray Basin is drained by numerous small streams which comprise part of the headwaters of the Murray River. All the rivers, except the lower reaches of the northern streams, flow through inaccessible, heavily forested mountain country. Trout populations are self-sustaining from natural spawning and are able to meet angling pressure.

Brown trout are predominant, with good numbers of reasonable-sized fish present. Rainbow trout are plentiful but seldom exceed 350g. Larger fish of both species are more often taken in the autumn. The two best trout waters are the Cudgewa and Nariel Creeks. Koetong Creek is being stocked with trout cod as part of a program aimed at establishing additional viable populations of this endangered native fish species.
