Fishing the Clyde River" gives this advice on fishing above Nelligen Bridge:
"Just above Nelligen Bridge on the left hand side close in to the bank is very deep water. This fishes best on the last 2 hours of the run off. Above here the river passes the caravan park and creek and runs straight up to where it takes a right hand turn. This is reasonably deep water and all along this bank close in bream and flathead can be taken.
There are several places along here where good bank fishing is available. The best time to fish these places is when the tide is half down. One line cast well out and another with very little sinker, cast out and allowed to drift down close in to the bank will take fish. At the top of this straight the river turns right and a track runs along the river for about 200 metres. Good bank fishing here.
The bank from the bridge on the right hand side up to Cyne Mallows Creek can be fished on the run up tide and run off. Fish close in to the bank on all tides. When the tides are big from 1.6 metres up, a bait put right under the mangroves can result in some large bream.
Cyne Mallows Creek can fish well on the run up tide. Boats can go a long way up this creek but care should be taken to follow the deep water. Bream and flathead can be taken right up to the headwaters of this creek. From this creek the bank on the right hand side up to where the river bends right fishes all tides. The middle of the river is also worth drifting for flathead. The bank at the mouth of Cyne Mallows also fishes well for garfish. The bank at the mouth of Cyne Mallows has good weed beds and good luderick can be caught on peeled prawns."
