Bluewater | Saltwater Fly & Lure
Saltwater fly and bluewater lure fishing in Australia offers a unique and challenging experience like nothing on earth! From the Great Barrier Reef to the Kimberley and Northern Australia’s expansive flats, anglers can target species like bonefish, permit, queenfish, and trevally in crystal-clear, shallow waters. The adventure extends offshore, where bluewater lure fishing presents opportunities to catch larger game and pelagics fish in deeper waters.
Freshwater Fly - Estuary & River
Australia’s diverse landscapes offer exceptional fishing opportunities. In the Northern Territory and North Queensland, anglers can target barramundi and mangrove jack in nutrient-rich estuaries. Tasmania and the Blue Mountains are prime destinations for fly fishing, known for their wild trout.
Heavy Tackle
Heavy tackle fishing in Australia is an adrenaline-pumping adventure, especially off Cairns, the marlin capital of the world. Anglers chase down giants like black marlin, yellowfin tuna, and monster GTs, using high-performance gear to battle these powerhouse fish. With epic fights in world-class waters, it’s the ultimate challenge for big game enthusiasts.
