The Talbragar River is a stream located in New South Wales, Australia, flowing through the central-western region near Mudgee. This river has historically been dominated by introduced species, particularly common carp, though ongoing conservation and habitat restoration efforts are actively working to shift the balance back toward native fish populations. The river offers a rugged, natural setting for anglers willing to explore a less-pressured waterway, and recent reports of Murray cod presence have generated renewed interest among native fish enthusiasts.
