Baffle Island Group
This small island group is great for a variety of estuary species including salmon, barramundi, bream, grunter and mud crabs. The section of the river closest to Normanton is generally better for barramundi when there is plenty of fresh water flowing- during and just after the wet season. This section of the Norman River is influenced by the tide, but the water is hardly as salty as you may think.
Sandbars line the east side of the river on the Normanton side of the island groups.
During the dry season, the salt water pushes back up the river, and mud crabs, bream, grunter, and salmon become more common.
