The Severn begins around Dundee and flows to Pindari Dam, the out-skirts of Emmaville, Strathbogie & Ashford, through Kwaimbal National Park and then flows into Macintyre River.

Excellent fishing can be found all the way along this river. Although often surrounded by rugged gorge country, there are a few easy access points. In and around Emmaville and Strathbogie, there are a couple of road crossings, but before Pindari Dam most is private property, so permission & a good 4WD is definitely required. Below Pindari, access can be gained at Kwiambal National Park, which is located approximately 25km from Ashford at the junctions of the Severn and Macintyre Rivers. Here you will find good camping areas, and other sites to see, such as the Macintyre Falls and the Limestone Caves. Any other access is through private property.

The Severn River is regularly stocked with natives. The re-stocking program realeases native fingerlings; Murray Cod and Golden Perch fingerlings are released in the river. The re-stocking program takes place through the great efforts of local Fishing Clubs, Hatcheries, Local Government & NSW Fisheries.
