Grose
River
The Grose
starts its flow near Blackheath in the Upper Blue Mountains. It
is fed by many small creeks within the Blue Mountains National Park and
reaches the Nepean River at Yarrumundi Bridge up stream from Richmond.
The upper reaches hold trout and the odd Macquarie Perch (protected).
This area of the river is difficult to access and requires a full day
bush walk to reach the best waters. Most of the river is within remote
wilderness. Multi day lilo fishing trips from Faulconbridge point to
the Nepean River junction are possible, but should only be attempted by
well prepared groups of experienced bushwalkers.
The lower 2km of river can be reached from the Yarramundi Bridge. The
river flows behind the YMCA camp. This area holds Bass, Eel and Mullet
in good numbers.
The best fishing in the Grose is in the warmer months with bass being
the most common catch. Try casting up against the edge of the bank as
the fish hide in the shade along the edges when the sun is high. Use
surface lures during flood conditions or on sunset. Jitter Bugs and
spinner baits have a proven track record.
Please note: This is not a
general trout stream, however the bass closed season applies to all
waters except stocked inpondments. See the DPI
website for more details.
