Fishing near Tennant Creek, Northern Territory
Tennant Creek sits in the Barkly region of the Northern Territory, deep in the arid interior. Fishing here revolves around waterholes and creek systems rather than coastal or tidal water — spots like Fat Bullock Waterhole, Old Police Station Waterhole, Elbow Waterhole, and Mary Ann Dam are the local go-tos. The Tennant Creek river system and nearby Hayward Creek hold fish when water is present, and the area's scattered waterholes are the heart of inland NT angling.
