The Tweed River is a healthy waterway with a good population of Australian bass. Natural stock levels are boosted by escapees from Clarrie Hall dam. This ensures that good numbers of sport fish can be found year round. When fishing the Tweed River on a good day, one can expect to encounter plenty of healthy bass. Average sizes range from 36-42cm with the occasional larger specimen.

Bass can be targeted with the usual array of flies and lures. Working shaded snags with lead eye clouser flies or small diving hard bodies during the middle of the day can produce the goods. Spinnerbaits and vibes worked in the deeper sections is also a productive method. Surface lures and flies in low light conditions make for some spectacular strikes.
