New To Brissie.

Hi. I am a Pom who has lived in Australia for 8 years and recently moved from Geelong Vic to Brisbane QLD.  

I prefer freshwater lake or small (ish) river fishing, don't really care what size or type of fish I catch just enjoy being out there relaxing and I've always been a catch & release fisherman. 

Can someone please confirm if you need a licence to fish in QLD, I've been told no by work colleague but he didn't seem too sure  

Any tips on places & or technique's to fish would be appreciated, I don't have a tinny or boat so would be land based fishing.

Cheers in advance people Pez.

Welcome to Brisbane.

You need a Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) to fish lakes/dams that are on the SIP list otherwise NO.

See https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/fisheries/recreational for all the info you need.

If you live on the northside, Lake Samsonvale (North Pine Dam) is worth a visit.
