The Wooli Wooli River has some great fishing spots for travellers and visitors to Wooli. The River is 34km long stretching from the Newfoundland state forest and opens up to the ocean at Wooli. There are camping grounds and a general store to keep visitors stocked. The upper reaches of the Wooli River at the fork Bookram Creek is a sanctuary zone so no fishing is allowed there, however downstream from here are the best fishing spots. There are some great land based fishing spots on the Wooli Wooli River such as the break walls. Fishing the Wooli River via a kayak is probably the best way to experience the Wooli River fishing spots, sneaking up on shallow flathead grounds and upstream into mangrove jack country.
