Saltwater estuary fishing yields varieties such as barramundi, threadfin salmon and jewfish, whilst the intertidal zone upstream is home to freshwater species including saratoga, tarpon and of course more barramundi.
The Finniss River is home to a diversity of aquatic wildlife from Dolphins, Stingrays and Sharks to basking Crocodiles and Sea Eagles it sets the perfect platform for an experience on the water.
The Saltwater Finniss River is easily accessed from the Dundee Beach boat ramp, taking roughly 35 minutes transit along the coastline to reach the mouth of the Finniss River.
