The Kent River is a 140-kilometer waterway flowing through the Great Southern region of Western Australia. It originates in the forested hills and flows through a diverse catchment before meeting the Southern Ocean. The river system, including its tributary Nile Creek, supports a unique and fragile freshwater ecosystem characterized by native fish species found nowhere else in the world. Angling here is a specialized pursuit focused on conservation-minded catch-and-release of endemic species within a setting of significant natural heritage.
