Land based in Cairns

You don't exactly say where you were fishing but you need to be aware of the closed waters in the Barron Gorge. The excerpt below is from Qld Fisheries. I've got no idea where Camp Oven Creek is.

Waters closed to all forms of fishing

Total fishing prohibitions exist in the following areas:

• Certain areas within state and Commonwealth marine parks.
• Barron River: at the place commonly known as Barron Waters, between F#B signs on opposite sides of the river near its junction with Stony Creek and its junction with Camp Oven Creek.

No idea where Camp oven ck was either, but I didn't see any signs along the road, It is getting that way that you have to get a fisheries map and scour it before you fish anywhere these days. Apologies if I was in error.

Hey,
I only know about it because the old bloke up the road wanted to have one last fish there for barra. Was going to get his wife to drop him off one night and pick him up later. He never made it but I went looking on the fisheries site for why you couldn't fish there. Yes, you do need a map because I think some of the coast is also closed along north of Cairns towards Port Douglas along the Captain Cook Highway.
