Everything you need to know before booking, from what’s included to how trips are planned around tides and conditions.
Preparing for Your Day on the River
Planning a guided fishing trip on a tidal river system is different to booking a fixed-time activity. Conditions change daily, and the best fishing comes from aligning your time on the water with tides, flows and seasonal patterns.
This page outlines what to expect, what’s included and how trips are planned, so you can book with confidence.
How Trips Are Planned
All trips with Three Rivers Fishing are planned around conditions rather than fixed schedules. Tide movement, recent rainfall, water clarity and seasonal behaviour all influence where and when fish are most active.
Launch locations, start times and river choice may vary from trip to trip. This flexibility allows each day on the water to be built with purpose, maximising time spent fishing productive water rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Final details are confirmed closer to your trip date once conditions are clearer.
What’s Included
Everything required for a safe, well-run day on the water is provided.
What to Bring
To stay comfortable on the water, anglers should bring:
Optional:
Experience Level
Trips are suitable for a wide range of experience levels.
No prior fishing experience is required. Beginners are welcome and will receive guidance throughout the day. Experienced anglers can expect a focused approach that adapts to conditions and allows room to refine techniques.
Fly fishers are welcome, although flies are not supplied and instruction is limited to on-water guidance.
Seasonal Considerations
The prime bass season runs from spring through to autumn, with summer offering the most consistent fishing and the best topwater opportunities.
Conditions vary year to year, and weather plays a significant role in how the system fishes. Trips are adjusted to suit the season, with techniques, locations and timing changing as water temperatures and river behaviour shift.
If you are unsure about the best time to book, get in touch to discuss options.
Weather and Safety
Safety and preparation are central to every trip. Weather and river conditions are assessed before and during each outing, with decisions made conservatively to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
If conditions are unsuitable, trips may be adjusted or rescheduled. Clear communication is provided if changes are required.
All trips are fully guided, and appropriate safety equipment is carried at all times.
Notes From the River
Thoughts, reports and lessons learned from time spent on the water.
