No marron catches logged yet — log one and you'll be recognised here.
Large freshwater crayfish endemic to south-west WA. Targeted in dams, rivers and reservoirs during a tightly regulated short season using snare, scoop or drop-net (gear and methods vary). Excellent eating and a serious cultural fishery in WA — licence and rules apply.
Generally fished with ultralight tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions, so check recent reports before a trip.
