    Things sure have changed. I remember fishing at the weir wall when it ran over as a kid with my Dad over 20 years ago. Only thing around then was Catfish (fork and eel tailed), Black Bream and the odd Yellowbelly.

    You can walk down but its about a couple of km before you get to the deeper water.. Or if you have a 4x4 you can take the dirt track along side the creek. that goes down a few km aswell.

    The black bream in the Fitzroy system are Leathery Grunter. Usually in schools, get to about 4kg, small mouth, taste and texture of the flesh is about as bad as you can imagine from fish. You would have to be really hungry. Many have told me though that they can be ok in fish cakes.
    Have caught maybe 10 on lures over the years. Used to catch a lot when bait fishing with shrimps. They also love bread.
