The Murray River is a freestone river in Western Australia. Western Australia's Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) names it among “the most popular trout waters in WA” in its South-west freshwater angling guide and named it as a trout-stocking location in a 2025 announcement. This is the Western Australian Murray River (Dwellingup / Peel region), not the Murray-Darling.
Nothing on this page grants or implies access: check the agency map, posted signs and landowner permission before you fish. Most waters here need a rod licence or permit and often a beat booking or club ticket; the listing pages under Regulations say which.

Live readings come from the named provider when the page is shown, under the licence shown on each card. Designations, species and the flagship note link to the agency or body that publishes them; this page copies only the list wording and the species names. Guide and shop listings come from the Legendary directories. Position: the OpenStreetMap feature “Murray River, Western Australia, Australia” (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), found with Nominatim; a point on or near the named feature, approximate. Water type is our own classification.
