The Black Bream is a freshwater fish inhabiting most permanent water bodies from dams and billabongs through to sluggish inland rivers and fast flowing rainforest streams. It can grow to over 5kg in weight, but is more often caught around 1 to 2kg.

Baits for catching Black Brim on a line can vary from freshwater prawns, mussels or worms or fruit such as Cluster Figs (see Ficus racemosa). Particularly good . . .
