There is freshwater fishing in the Wailoa River in Hilo but you have to get a fishing license and you can't use a gas engine if you use a boat. I think they catch mullet and there's probably some other species in there but I'm not sure what. I have seen a fellow shooting fishes with a bow and arrow with a line attached to the arrow from one of the bridges across the Wailoa. He was shooting ocean fishes which came in with the tide, though, I think.
