By former Murray River fisheries officer TREVOR SIMMONDS
Swan Reach is a great Murray River fishing spot for Adelaide day-trippers.
It has good boat launching facilities.
While Swan Reach is an easy day-trip this section of the river is scenic enough to justify an extended boating holiday.
Fishing at Swan Reach can be productive for callop, carp and yabbies, with the area upstream producing the best fishing.
Cod are always a chance.
If buying a shrimp trap or yabby pot, be sure it complies with SA rules here.
For bait, earthworms work well, but you can’t beat locally caught live shrimp.
Here is a list of recommended tackle for the Murray River.
