Everything Everyone Says It Is, and More

The Beginners Workshop at Goulburn Valley Fly Fishing truly equips you with the fundamentals of fly fishing. Antony and Lachie are expert guides whose depth of knowledge is matched only by their extraordinary patience and eagerness to share their craft. This course welcomes anyone, regardless of age, fitness, or prior experience, making it an inviting sport for all, especially women who are underrepresented in this field.

Following up the workshop with a half-day fishing experience under the guidance of Lachie provided the perfect setting to reinforce my skills, and the stunning vistas of the Goulburn and Rubicon Rivers added to the overall enjoyment. The team’s commitment doesn’t end with the course; they offer ongoing support, advice, and future fishing adventures. Enrolling in this course will undoubtedly enrich your life and open up a new world of fly fishing.

Above and Beyond

The Beginner’s Two-Day Workshop at Goulburn Valley Fly Fishing exceeded all expectations, leaving me eager to dive deeper into the world of fly fishing with the guidance of Antony, and Lachie. The program effectively balanced theoretical knowledge with practical training, tackling subjects such as entomology, gear selection, casting, trout behavior, and river reading, to name a few. All essentials were condensed and simplified, ensuring we were well-prepared to venture out independently after just two days.

What sets Goulburn Valley Fly Fishing apart is not just their comprehensive workshop, but the welcoming community they’ve cultivated. The team’s commitment extends beyond the course, encouraging learners to reach out with any future inquiries, evidencing their genuine investment in the journey of their clients. Whether you’ve been considering trying fly fishing or are an experienced angler, I highly recommend GV Fly Fishing. Their vast experience promises continuous learning and improvement, ensuring a fulfilling fly fishing experience.

Under the guidance of their team, we were casting competently in a surprisingly short time. Antony’s exceptional hospitality created a relaxed learning environment that truly enhanced our experience.
