Freshwater - fishing for gilgies
Submitted by randall df223 on Sun, 2014-07-13 20:41
Camped at a friend's farm this weekend. They have a creek running through it that eventually runs into the Avon. Saw some decent size gilgies in there last night. Caught one by hand and released it. Saw one much bigger a decent feed. I know the bag limit is ten. No size limit. Do you need a freshwater licence???

Your probably sweet on private property, but be careful anywhere else. Have heard stories (on this site, i think) of people being busted when fishing for gilgies because theoretically, they could be fishing for marron, and were out of season or using inappropriate gear.
