Fishing tips

Everyone can do their bit to keep the rivers healthy. Reduce environmental impacts when fishing in the Swan and Canning rivers by keeping a few things in mind before you cast your line.

Check our Fishing to keep our rivers healthy and Fishing for a Healthy River brochures to find out how to be a river-friendly fisher.
Tips include:
  • Fish from jetties or platforms to protect foreshore vegetation
  • Make sure you are fishing on public land. There are penalties for trespassing
  • Digging for bait worms in the Swan Estuary Marine Park or the Canning River Regional Park is not permitted
  • Know fish regulations, including bag size and limits
  • Put unwanted or undersized fish back into the rivers.
