GABBA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi some of you may know I am quite new to the forums and new to fishing, could someone tell me a decent place along the Nepean River of where I might have some luck. Maybe indicate the road that it is off? I don't have a boat, so it would have to be off land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
