Attention International Anglers
As a world-renowned destination for fly fishing, New Zealand often tops the list for avid anglers from the USA and Canada. However, we would like to suggest exploring the incredible fisheries that we offer here in Australia. Our rivers are every bit as clean as those in New Zealand, and boast minimal pressure from other anglers, ensuring a truly pristine experience. Our brown and rainbow trout are a unique and exceptional genetic species, present in both New Zealand and Australia. However, we can offer you outstanding numbers here in Australia, providing an opportunity to enjoy a truly fulfilling fly-fishing experience. We strongly encourage you to expand your fly fishing horizons and explore the unique beauty of our Australian fisheries. Take the time to check us out, and we are confident that you will not be disappointed. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful country!
