With no international travel on the cards this season, we have put together three exciting mainland options for Australian fly fishers looking for an extended trip.
The first is our Goulburn River Adventure. Based in the Alexandra area, this trip focuses on drift boating the Goulburn River, with some walk/wade options on nearby small streams.
The second offering is our Tailrace Grand Slam. This trip is based out of Khancoban and includes drift boating on three of the best fly fishing rivers in Australia. The Mitta Mitta, Swampy Plain and Tumut. This trip is equally popular with both Sydney and Melbourne based anglers; Khancoban being situated approximately half way between the two cities.
Last but definitely not least, is our Autumn Escape trip. This unique offering, sees us choose the base destination about a week before the trip start date, allowing us to ensure we experience the best fishing at the time. With all potetnial locations within a 3 – 4 hour drive of Melbourne, this trip offers a great variety of excellent walk/wade angling (some drift boat) along with the best weather of the year.
Our New Zealand trips for 2022 have been listed and we are taking expressions of interest for all dates now.
We have been running these fully licensed trips for twenty years and they offer some of the best fly fishing in New Zealand at a terrific price ($4,700 per person).
This is a very popular trip with 30+ spots going to returning clients each year. Some groups have been coming for twenty years in a row.
Don’t hesitate to pick up the phone to speak with us about these trips, or even stop by the shop to discuss it face to face.
With international travel unlikely to resume anytime soon, we have put together a list of mainland offerings to give frustrated Australian fly fishers an exciting local trip right here at home.
The first two, Goulburn Adventure and the Tailrace Grand Slam, are perfect New Zealand trip replacements for those looking for an alternate week-long trip here in Australia. Please take a close look at these offerings if you are searching for a quality fishing adventure in Oz this season.

If you’re an Australian fly fisher and you haven’t yet fished the Goulburn River in Victoria from one of our drift boats, then you are missing out on one of the best fly fishing experiences on the mainland.
This trip was designed to give participants, especially those from interstate, a great introduction to the region, while drifting more than sixty kilometres of this wonderful river with some of the most experienced guides in the country.
Our Tailrace Grand Slam Trip is for fly fishers looking for an added element of adventure this season. Five nights and five very full days of drift boat fly fishing on three of the Australia’s best fly fishing rivers. A great price and small group sizes make this an attractive week away for all fly fishers. Set dates are listed but this trip can be run at anytime for those with a group of four or six anglers.
Drift Boat Fly Fishing on the Goulburn River is a great early season / springtime option. It starts off with streamers, small nymphs and a few midges. As October rolls on we have lots of caddis and mayfly, with flying ants also appearing by mid-month and larger bugs by November. Spoil yourself and go solo or bring a mate and split the cost. 1-2 anglers per boat. Multiple boats available to cater to groups of up to eight.
Beginners Workshops will be running most weekends from now until Christmas. At just $390 per person for the two full days of instruction, and including use of all gear and lunch both days, this is an outstanding way to get into the sport of fly fishing with participants capable of fishing independently by the end of the weekend.
A two day, one night trip for those wanting to chase trout in beautiful mountain locations only two hours drive from Melbourne C.B.D. Think small waters, no crowds and dry flies.
New Zealand Trips – JAN – FEB – MAR 2022 – this is one of our most popular trips to the word’s best fly fishing destination. A week of dry fly fishing to sighted brown and rainbow trout staying on the banks of one of NZ’s best rivers. Bring a friend and receive a special booking bonus.
