Cobungra River

Access to the Cobungra River varies significantly along its course with large section being a long way from vehicle access. The most straightforward access is at Anglers Rest, where the river meets the Mitta Mitta River. This section is popular and offers easier wading and a cold beer afterward at the Blue Duck Tavern. However, most other access points require more effort—either via steep walks, 4WD tracks, or crossing private property (with permission).
The upper reaches near Mount Hotham are more remote and typically only reachable by foot or 4WD, but these less fished areas offer excellent opportunities for solitude and rewarding fishing. The river flows through the mountains among snow grass plains in the upper reaches and rugged terrain, with gravel beds and an uneven, slippery bottom, making wading tricky in many areas. The walking trail to Dibbin's Hut provides a unique high country twigwater opportunity in the warmer months and there is also access from the Mount Hotham area via the Brandy Creek fire trail if you're fit and up for a hike.
