Bago Creek is a NSW creek: brown and rainbow trout have been stocked into it in recent seasons, and river blackfish have been recorded there too.
It runs on into Tarcutta Creek. Start at one of the access points on the access card, walk to the water and fish upstream with a dry and a small nymph under it.
The current NSW trout guide decides when you can fish and what you keep, so read it before you settle on a date.
Bago Creek flows into Tarcutta Creek. The access card shows six places to reach it; treat them as locations only, not permission to cross private land.
The stocking chart shows the brown and rainbow trout released into the creek, so those are the fish to plan for. River blackfish have also been recorded. Stocked trout are worth targeting with a dry and dropper in warm weather and a nymph on its own when nothing is rising.
In our experience the warmer months suit a dry and a nymph under it, and the cooler or brighter days call for nymphs alone. Take the trout season from the NSW guide before you plan a date.
Work upstream so the fish see you last, cast short and accurate, and fish the water in front of you slowly. Early morning and the last hour of light are a good bet.
Choose one of the access points on the access card and check signs and fences on the ground. As on any bush creek, watch your footing on wet rock, and tell someone where you are going.
No water-specific rule was found. Check the current NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development trout guide, and its closed-waters list, before you fish, and take any season, bag and size limits from it.
These authority-listed points are separate from the mapped track intersections above. Some were inspected and some are public boat-ramp records; each row says which. A listing does not grant permission across private land, so check closures, signs and gates when you arrive.
