Region: Bullo & Victoria Rivers

With an area covering half a million acres, Bullo River is a vast, pristine cattle station steeped in Australian outback history. 8,000 – 10,000 head of Brahman stock graze on Bullo’s seemingly boundless plains, but it’s what lives in the Bullo & Victoria Rivers that will interest keen sport fishers. Mighty barramundi, occasionally topping 50 pounds, are found throughout the waterway and it’s the prospect of tangling with these spectacular and hard-fighting fish that consistently draws angling die-hards.

Accommodation: Bullo River Station

Guest accommodation islocated only a few metres from the main homestead is consisting of 12 double/twin rooms, each with air conditioning and en-suite bathroom facilities. All rooms are serviced daily and have access to the lawns surrounding the homestead.

The Main Homestead

Lined with beautiful, smooth-bark boab trees, the long, low stone homestead with its facade of five arches is cool and quiet even in the heat of the day. Guests are welcome to wander in, chat with the Bullo team, help themselves to a cold drink or just chill out in the living area – it’s a casual affair.

Boating Equipment

Aluminium tinnies are used to fish the Bullo Gorge along with the Bullo River and Victoria River.

What You Can Catch

Whilst Bullo is famous for excellent barramundi fishing there are also other species including thread fin salmon, jew fish, mangrove jack and black bream.

Fishing
The Bullo River itself flows for around 75 kilometres exclusively on the property providing the opportunity for fresh and tidal salt-water fishing. The Bullo River then joins the Victoria River, one of the largest and most remote rivers in Australia and is the property’s eastern boundary.

Your guides know the secret spots on Bullo River and they consistently put clients on to big Barra in beautiful surroundings. Fishing by helicopter is an option at Bullo River although it’s an extra cost, it provides ready access to some of the waterway’s more remote locations. The view of Bullo’s vastness from a chopper is truly breath taking and comes highly recommended.

 

Fishing Equipment

Fishing equipment is supplied if you do not wish to bring your own. If you have preferred equipment, you will be trolling and casting lures, as well as live baiting, so it pays to be well prepared in the tackle department. Fishing equipment used on a replace if lost or damaged basis.
