the isis is salt all the way up to the wall then it is very brackish fresh, watch the rocks at the end of the salt, but you can be rewarded with some nice jack, great river to fish with nice deep sections ,sand flats, eddys ,rock bars ,gutters. bob h

its been a while but i think it is around 10 to 15 ks north on the childers bunderberg rd you turn right into the channels just before the elliott river bridge then drive out as far as the track takes you it is only about 1k cheers and good fishing ken
