Frickey Creek, Queensland: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Frickey Creek is a South Burnett water, in Queensland. Land around it is warm green lowland. It sits higher than most water we list in Queensland. For supplies, Cherbourg is 15 km out. The big place round here is Sunshine Coast, 109 km distant. Nothing else of size sits close, so plan the day around this one. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Frickey Creek

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Undercut banks hold fish that the middle of the river never will. Where two currents meet, work the crease between them. Frickey Creek gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. Where the bottom hardens, fish tend to hold.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 12°C in July up to 24°C in January. Cold never shuts this water down; heat is the only limit. Season rules are a separate question. Spring runs September to November and autumn March to May, and both fish well. Winter is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time to be out. Anyone fishing Frickey Creek regularly works to that calendar.
