According to the late Lindsay Bond's "Fishing the Clyde River", the deep water on the left hand bank (that is the bank across the river from "Riverbend") holds good bream which will bite on the run up tide.
Above "Riverbend" the water becomes more shallow and weedy and is favourable for garfish and luderick.
Along the right hand bank (on the side of "Riverbend") there are a series of houses. Just above "Sunlit Waters" and below the old punt ramp, a point of rock juts out into very deep water and a light reed. This fishes best on the last two hours of the run off.
Fishing under the bridge can produce some very nice bream and flathead. On the first and last hour of the run up, the bottom side of the bridge is best. If the tide does not exceed 1.3 metres, bream will bite on and off right through the tide.
The top side of the bridge fishes best first hour of the run off and last 2 hours of the run off.
When anchoring the boat on the bottom side of Nelligen Bridge, care should be taken to drop the anchor on either side of the co-ax cable. A line can be taken from the signs on either side of the river.
