Recreational Fishing

A guide to freshwater fish in NSW

information sheet

The fish friendly farms team has produced this guide to help you identify native fish that could be in your streams and understand what they need to survive and thrive.  We have also included fish species that have been deliberately or accidentally introduced into the rivers and creeks of NSW. 

The guide inlcudes information on:

  • Native fish
  • Introduced fish
  • Distribution maps
  • A glossary of terms
