North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

G’day all,
I’m thinking of heading somewhere different this runoff. Never fished the Vic and it’s had a good drench.
I’ve heard it’s Johnny on the spot, as it runs off quick.
Just wondering where/when to start?
I’ll be doing a late season trolling trip in late April/May, but wouldn’t mind shooting down for a go at some runoff flicking before hand.
Any tips most appreciated, PM me if you don’t want to give away too much.
Cheers and beers, Scotty!

'Football Creek' was always the place to be during the wet season run-off.

The fellas at Katherine Rod and Rifle fish the Vic a lot and would be the ones to ask.

I wrote a fairly comprehensive report tp travel down the river on this forum around 2006 - 2009 from memory, not sure if it can be found?

I fished it lots when I lived in Katherine. The run-off is short however there are some good spots. Little & big horse creek are probably the best when the river is high. Further down there is "lookback" creek, "football", "twin creeks" & if you wish to travel down as far as the Baines, Alpha & Sandy creek down there are great. Mouth of Angalarri is also good.

I do miss fishing out there & now my brothere has left Timber creek, I haven't been there for ages.

Cheers!
