Australia’s Best Trout Fishery

Experience fly fishing at its best on Australia’s premier fly fishery, the Goulburn River. Along the 75 kilometres stretch of Blue Ribbon tailwater, you will find an abundance of mayfly and caddis, producing some of the best dry fly fishing in the country. It also has teriffic grasshopper fishing in the warmer months, and hatches that persist right through until the end of May.

But, the Goulburn is not your only option; rivers like Jamieson, Howqua, Delatite, and Big also offer fantastic trout fishing opportunities up in the hills. Think mountain streams with stunning scenery and eager fish. Closer to home, Goulburn River tributaries like the Rubicon and Acheron offer excellent fly fishing for wild brown trout.

We can also arrange visits to historically significant fly fishing locations such as Mr. Findlay’s Water Race, and we have private access to numerous properties right across the district.

The Program

Day-to-day, there are no limitations to what we can do. Be it drift boat, walk-wade, or even specialist instruction in particular fishing techniques, streamcraft, flycasting, or even beginner lessons. Whatever your needs; we have you covered. You can drift as a group, or split boats into different areas. Fish as a team, or put beginners with our best instructors while the more experienced members go drifting with our best guides. We organise each day as per your preference.

Drift boating down the Goulburn is a great experience. I will do it again and I suggest you do it also.

Absolutely great experience doing the one day learn to fly fish course. Anthony taught us to cast in the morning, salvaged lunch when I messed things up, and got us both to catch fish on dry flies on our first time fly fishing. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn to fly fish. The instructor knew the river like the back of his hand, had access to all the properties and seemed to know the fish on a first name basis. Thanks for the great day on the river. I hope to come back and learn more after Christmas. PS- Seeing platypus in the wild was a real bonus 👍

Been a regular client with Ant and the crew for years now. There really isn't much they don't know about fly fishing. They go out of their way above and beyond every time to make sure each drift is rewarding and unique. Hopefully I will be regular for years to come. Thanks.

drift fishing on the G with antony is one of the finest fishing experiences i've had. antony will not only put you onto fish but improve your fish craft and insect knowledge in one session. you will be a better fisherman/woman after this tranquil, informative and exhilerating experience. antony and his team care deeply about the river and are not looking to exploit it's fishing - rather to preserve it. i wish i could say the same about all guiding operations. thanks again antony - looking forward to the next one.

The guys at GVFFC are simply the best when it comes to fly fishing and guiding the Goulburn, Rubicon, Steavenson and other rivers in the area - nobody else comes close. I was lucky enough to have a day of guiding on the Goulburn recently, and their knowledge of the river is nothing short of incredible. I consider myself a fairly experienced fly fisher, but the level of advice and expertise they were able to offer was really eye opening. Everything from reading the water, to new tactics, to local knowledge of trout behaviour and which flies work best in which conditions - it's amazing just how much they can improve your fishing. To top it all off, they're great guys with a real passion for sustainable fishing. Do yourself a favour and book an experience with them - you won't regret it.
