The Australian Salmon Fishing Championships in Elliston, South Australia

The Australian Salmon Fishing Championships run over Winter for 3 months each year, marking an annual highlight for the angling community on the Eyre Peninsula. The event has proven to be a great success with many fishers coming back to our area each year – in fact the event is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024!

This event invites anglers to compete in capturing salmon from the shore with a hook and line, from the beaches surrounding Elliston including Sheringa & Mt Camel. A range of prizes are on offer.

The selected stretch between Sheringa and Mount Camel provides a variety of fishing conditions, challenging competitors to make use of their best techniques.
