Tamboon Inlet is a pristine and relatively isolated estuary located at the mouth of the Cann River in Far East Gippsland, Victoria. Surrounded by dense eucalypt forest and massive sand dunes, this waterway receives significantly less fishing pressure compared to more popular nearby systems like Mallacoota, Bemm River, and Marlo. The area features no major town, consisting primarily of a campground and scattered holiday houses, offering anglers a secluded coastal environment often to themselves. The inlet's tannin-stained waters flow from the Great Dividing Range, creating a stunning and productive fishery known for its quality fish.

The channels and drop-offs within the inlet are consistently productive areas. Drifting these areas is a classic technique for flathead. The mouth area near the sand dunes can also be productive, particularly for species like salmon and tailor. The structure provided by the forested shoreline and any submerged timber or weed beds are all worth targeting.
