FISHING SNOWY RIVER COUNTRY
Fish from a boat from Marlo and you can look forward to hooking a big one in the costal river lagoon. During holidays, the Marlo boat ramp is usually a hive of fishing activity . It does not get any better than fishing the estuary.
Fishing up in the higher reaches of Snowy River Country offer you the chance to bag the elusive brown or rainbow trout. Cool waters and pristine wilderness offer these beauties a delightful home. The Parks Victoria documentation states that fishing can be "disappointing" along the upper snowy area.
