The Yass River is a perennial river flowing through the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. It forms part of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the vast Murray–Darling basin. The river winds through a landscape of bushland and farmland, offering secluded fishing opportunities away from more heavily pressured waters. It provides a habitat for both native Australian fish species and several introduced species, creating a mixed fishery that can yield surprising results for anglers exploring its waters.
