Coxs River

Coxs River can be broken down into three broad sections.
Upper section:
Comprises the river above lake Lyell, flowing from its source north of Wallerawang. This section of the river is really a small stream which is often best early season but can produce all year round in higher rainfall years. There can be some good fish than have either run up from or remained in the river from both Lyell and lake Wallace.
Below lake Lyell:
Coxs River flows through extensive farmland; this section is again a great early season to early summer prospect as it receives some better flows Lyell and the river Lett. Typically, fish are found in the more permanent pools rather than the runs in this section.
Megalong Valley to the Warragamba exclusion zone:
Sets the Coxs River apart from most rivers in Australia. While the river can produce trout through the Megalong valley section in wet years, the real highlight is the spawning run from lake Warragamba (The primary Sydney water supply). The river below the Little river junction is not a designated trout river and is therefore open to fishing year-round. This allows anglers to fish for rainbow trout that have run up from Warragamba over winter. This requires a significant walk-in over the colder months. However, the rewards are there.
