Wye River
Hi all
Heading to Wye River for the weekend, wondering if anyone had any tips on best places to fish. I don't have a surf rod but wondering if that means fishing off the beach is a waste of time? Haven't been to Wye River before, and will be with my kids so taking it pretty easy, but keen to get a line in if you think there's somewhere good to do so?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Wye River
Without a surf rod will be pretty hard going off the beach but the river itself does have some bream in it, or 10 k down the road at Kennet river is a bit better for bream and the odd small trout, or the lorne pier is always an option with standard rods

Just a warning that there are plenty of European Wasps down that way at present. I got stung by one fishing off the rocks near Apollo Bay yesterday...not the worst thing I’ve ever experienced but it certainly didn’t tickle!

Re: Wye River
Thanks, all. Yeah, will have to see how we go. At least the wind will blow the wasps away...!

Re: Wye River
A westerly wind isn't too much of a problem down there if you fish on the western side of the bay as it is quite protected. But there is going to be a fair bit of swell so watch out for the bigger waves.

Re: Wye River
Weather plus no surf rod meant it wasn't to be for me this weekend. And yes, there were quite a few European wasps, but mainly around the General Store. Thanks again for your tips. Will be going back to Wye again in the future, so will now have a better plan for fishing there.
