Located approximately 20 – 30km off the Great Northern Highway Myroodah Crossing is the cement crossing for Myroodah Station and it parts goes across the mighty Fitzroy River. The crossing is fresh water that eventually runs into saltwater and is a breeding ground for Barramundi, fresh water crocodiles and Sootie Grunter. The river floods with fresh water during the wet season when Barramundi breed.
Access is fairly easy via the creeks large sandy banks, although you might need to let your tyres down to 18psi as the sand is quite soft.
The fresh water stretches of the Fitzroy River are separated by very shallow sand bars that are impassable and dry up for almost 8 months of the year. In the pools the water gets to depths of 5 metres where large Barramundi can be found.
The best time to fish here is during the warming months when the water temperatures are above 25 degrees Celsius, as the Barramundi completely shutdown at any temperature below. While they do feed in the cooler months they will not hit lures, live cherubim are the best bet in cool times.
During the summer months the river pools come alive, with Barramundi hitting all kinds of lures.
