FishingDoes you bumper sticker proclaim you'd rather be fishing?Then the Capricorn Region is just the place for some REEL fishing. You'll discover a wide range of 'secret spots' where the fish are plentiful and are just waiting to be caught. Rockhampton hosts the famous Barra Bounty each year, which is one of Australia's most renown tag and release competitions - fishing for 'barra' from the centre of 'Rocky' is hard to beat!

In some cases, a stocked impoundment permit may be required and certain rules apply regarding fishing zones.
