Guided Fishing Trips
Guided Fishing Trips
Purpose-built Australian bass fishing experiences across the Hawkesbury catchment, planned around tides, conditions and the time of year.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Trip Overview
All guided fishing trips with Three Rivers Fishing are built around conditions, not fixed schedules. The Hawkesbury catchment is a dynamic system, and every day on the water is planned with purpose based on tides, flows, weather and seasonal patterns.
Trips are run as small-group experiences, with a maximum of two anglers per trip. This allows for greater flexibility, more time fishing productive water and the ability to adapt as conditions change throughout the day.
Whether you choose a full day or half day on the water, you can expect a fully guided experience focused on Australian bass fishing. Locations, launch times and techniques are selected to suit the conditions on the day, ensuring each trip is approached thoughtfully rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Full Day Guided Trip
The full day trip is the most complete way to experience Australian bass fishing on the Hawkesbury catchment. With a full day on the water, there is time to follow the tides, adjust to conditions and fish multiple productive stretches of river.
Trips are planned around optimal tidal movement and seasonal patterns. Launch locations and start times vary depending on conditions, ensuring the day is built around when and where the river is fishing best, not a fixed schedule.
This trip is ideal for anglers who want a relaxed but focused day on the water, with plenty of time to learn the system, refine techniques and target quality fish.
What to Expect
A Typical Day
Each day begins by meeting at the selected launch point, followed by a short pre-trip briefing and preparation. Weather, river conditions and the plan for the day are reviewed before launching.
The first fishing session focuses on targeting productive water based on tide and flow. As conditions change, locations and techniques are adjusted to stay aligned with fish movement.
An optional break during the day allows time to rest, eat and review the plan before heading back out for a second fishing session. The afternoon is often spent refining the approach and targeting areas that come into play later in the tide. Every full day trip is flexible and shaped by conditions on the day.
Who this trip suits
Half Day Guided Trip
The half day trip is a focused, efficient way to experience Australian bass fishing on the Hawkesbury catchment. Designed around peak bite windows, this option delivers a high-quality fishing session without the commitment of a full day on the water.
Trips are timed around tides and conditions, with launch times selected to align with the most productive periods of the day. This approach allows anglers to make the most of a shorter session by fishing when bass are most active.
The half day trip is ideal for those short on time, first-time guided anglers, or anyone looking for a concentrated fishing experience that still reflects the same professional, conditions-based approach as a full day trip.
What to Expect
How the Session Runs
Each half day trip begins with a short briefing at the launch point, covering weather, river conditions and the plan for the session. From there, fishing focuses on productive water aligned with the chosen tide window.
The session is paced to maximise time fishing rather than moving unnecessarily. Adjustments are made as conditions change, ensuring the trip remains focused and efficient from start to finish.

About the Gear
Quality, reliable gear is used on every trip. Shimano, Daiwa and G. Loomis setups are standard, with both spinning and casting reels available.
