Walker Flat Ferry Crossing

River Mouth·South Australia·Australia

Field notes

Cable-ferry crossing on the SA Murray with cliff-lined deep holes either side. Bank access from the western reserve and ramp; deeper water under the cliffs is favoured for callop on shrimp and yabbies, with cod on bardi grubs and swimbaits at dusk.

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.
