Howard Springs Creek (Lower)
River·Northern Territory·Australia·
Field notes
Reserve creek is closed to fishing in the main pool, but the lower drain that runs out toward Howard River through the rural blocks holds barra and tarpon in the wet-season run-off. Access via easements off Whitewood Road area — check before crossing private land.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
