FishingQueensland is famous for its fishing and the Outback is no exception. In fact, fishing is one of the main recreational activities of the Outback. Go fishing in a billabong or along one of the many rivers and lakes. The place to hear about the best fishing spots is from a local - a chat at the pub should sort this out! The likely catch in the Outback is yellowbelly, barramundi, welch grunter, silver perch, sleepy cod, murray cod and catfish. You don't need a licence to go recreational fishing in Queensland, however some permits may be required. There are limits on the minimum and maximum fish sizes, gender, the maximum number of fish you can have in your possession, the types of fishing aparatus that can be used, the closures of specific areas to fishing and seasonal closures. Fishing in national parks is usually not allowed, however, fishing is permitted in some national parks and conservation parks in Outback Queensland. Please check with the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service before fishing in a national park. Our fisheries resources are of great value to Queenslanders and it is everyone's responsibility to protect this precious resource. Please observe the rules and regulations of recreational fishing in order to maintain healthy fisheries for now and for future generations.
