Main Digest
A list of accessible fishing locations in the Swan River and Perth area of Western Australia that provide universal access for people with disabilities.
Any time is good for fishing in WA but the warmer months, from November to March, are particularly rewarding. Not only is the weather ideal for early morning and twilight expeditions, but the Swan River becomes estuarine and many of the local marine species move into its waters to feed. River species you are likely to catch include Bream, Flounder, Herring, Skipjack, Cobbler, Flathead, and Tailor. Crabs and prawns, for which you don't need a licence, are also abundant in summer months.
