Richmond Valley           


Make The Most Of Boating And Fishing Adventures In Richmond Valley

Richmond Valley is regarded as a lovely spot for recreational activities chiefly because of the presence of rivers such as Evans and Richmond. So, if you are water sport enthusiast, you must look ahead to boating, fishing, canoeing, white water rafting or water skiing in a summer trip to Richmond Valley. But before that you would require a basic know-how about the main rivers of Richmond and the facilities available in them.

Fun at Richmond River

The 170 km long Richmond River passes through the towns of Kyogle, Casino, Coraki, and Woodburn to fall into the Pacific Ocean finally near Ballina. The river that has the sixth largest catchment area is chiefly navigable along its length up to Coraki. But you could go boating down its tributary Wilsons River right through Lismore.

If you keen to go fishing in Richmond River, you can have a rewarding experience in this river because of its abounding marine life. However, excess fishing over the years has led to a severe depletion of the endemic Richmond River Cod and the Oxleyan Pygmy Perch, which is now listed as an endangered species.

A gala time on Wilson River

The 32 km long Wilsons River formerly known as Wilson Creek is the north tributary of the Richmond River. The river abounds in a tempting variation of salmon species such as Steelhead salmon, Chinook salmon, Dog salmon, King salmon, Coho salmons. Other than these, you could also get silvers, pinkies, humpies, kokanee, sturgeon and springers as your prize catch.

If you are looking beyond fishing, you can avail boating and marine supplies like jet sleds, drift boats, bass boats, Boston Whalers and Alumaweld from nearby stores for a day filled with fun, energy and adventure. You may check up the latest fishing reports posted by guides and fisherman for Ore, Wash, & Idaho, tide tables, river levels and fishing forums to be completely equipped with all necessary information.

Things to do at Evans River

The Evans River is known for offering vistas into amazing sights and sounds of nature including sunrise and sunsets accompanied by the twittering of birds. You can watch turtles, fish and stingrays on the river surface or turn your eyes upon the wondrous reflections of the breathtaking surroundings upon the clear waters.

However, Evans River is also the perfect haven for boaters and kayakers as much as it is the retreat for photographers and bird watchers. If you take a day cruise on this river, you can observe the fishing feats of pelicans, soldier crabs digging up the mud or ospreys hunting for food. You can reach the untouched nooks and corners of the river bank if you go kayaking.

Taking a spotlighting cruise on Evans is the best idea if you are looking forward to beach adventure, a quick dip into the crystal shallow waters or watching the nocturnal wild life coming active after dark. The cruise also offers educational tourism trips, health and wellbeing tips as well as basic paddling skills.
