About us
Based in the heart of the Snowy Mountains and surrounded by the country's most pristine rivers, lakes and streams.
If you have ever wanted to try fly fishing but thought it's too difficult – don't despair, we strive to teach the art of casting and fishing in a relaxed and friendly environment. We cater from the beginner to the advanced and by the end of your trip, you’ll be “loading the rod, casting and drifting” like a pro.
We offer guided fly fishing in a range of settings, whether it's the fast-flowing Thredbo River, weaving through scenic bushland, or the magnificent Lake Jindabyne with its still and glassy waters and abundance of fish. This is Australian fly fishing at its best!
Guides
Craig Daly has been guiding in the Snowy Mountains for over 25 years. He has certification as a Fly Casting Instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers and is a licensed National Parks and Wildlife Service tour operator. His quest for furthering his fly fishing knowledge has led him from the wild rivers of Colorado and Montana in the USA, to the bone fish flats of the Pacific and the northern tropics of Australia.
Seasons
Rivers and streams are open from the October long weekend and close on the June long weekend. Most lakes and impoundments are open all year.
Destinations
We specialise in trout and freshwater fishing across the Snowy Mountains region.
Flies and equipment
For the smaller streams, a 3/4 weight will work well. For bigger waters, a 5/6 weight will handle bigger flies and the wind. If you don't bring your own gear, that's no problem, we can supply quality Echo fly rods to suit any fishing occasion! All other equipment can be supplied.
