Quoile Basin & River

Anglers are requested to be careful to cause as little disturbance as possible and to take care not to leave pieces of fishing line or other litter. Access to the water is easy on the south side where the road runs near the water. A path and some stands have been provided. Good quality catches of coarse fish are taken on a regular basis.
