SUMMER-AUTUMN 2022

With no overseas travel and a reluctance to go far from home this summer, most Australians are in a self-imposed state of lockdown. This is completely understandable. We are in the very same position ourselves and have whittled back our guiding team to just the core members, all of whom are working independently to minimise the risk of falling ill.

Further to this all our staff are double or triple vaccinated and our vehicles, fishing gear and drift boats are cleaned daily. We are also taking strict measures on the personal front to ensure minimal contact with people until this Omicron flare up burns itself out.

As part of this precautionary approach, our group workshops are on hold until early March. In their place we will run 1:1 lessons or private bookings for small groups who are known to one another and are vaccinated. These are available every day and suitable for complete beginners or inexperienced fly fishers looking to learn the necessary skills for independent and ongoing success.

For those who can cast we have half and full day drift boat trips on the Goulburn available every day. The fishing is as good as we’ve ever seen it. Don’t miss out – call us today to book a day trip.

If you are part of a group looking for the ultimate local trip we have our Goulburn River Adventure, a six-day fishing/seven-night trip in the Alexandra area. This trip can be run at anytime for groups of four or more. Non-fishing partners are also welcome. Also popular is our T ailrace Grand Slam, a six-day fishing/seven-night trip to the big tailwaters in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains. Think drift boats on two to three rivers, walk/wade fishing on small alpine streams and high country lakes.

Both trips were designed as a direct response to there being no international travel last season but have remained on the schedule due to demand for a multi-day Australian based adventure.

For those who don’t know we are less than two hours from Melbourne’s C.B.D. and airport. Lake Eildon is at 85%, meaning we have vast supplies of cold, clear water being released into the river, and the fishing is the best we’ve ever seen. You can read our latest TripAdvisor reviews for an independent point of view.

For those looking for a bit more adventure there are is our Montana trip running in July 2022 and our New Zealand trips running January – April 2023. Both are booking now.

Thanks for reading and all the best to you and your families. These are difficult times for all but we’d love to host you on a safe and relaxing outing with our team. We are always here to help.

Tight lines,
Anthony and the GVFFC Team.

GOULBURN ADVENTURE

Our most popular Australian trip. It includes six days of drift boat and walk/wade fly fishing and seven nights of comfortable accommodation for groups of four to eight anglers. Participants can choose to drift the Goulburn River every day, fishing four different sections over the course of the trip. Or we can mix things up with some small stream fishing and advanced instruction on casting, entomology, fly tying, streamcraft, euro nymphing, and more.

DRIFT BOATING

Drift boat fly fishing is available daily by the half day (5 hour) or full day (8 hour). Multiple boats for group bookings. Don’t miss out as the Goulburn is on fire this season with perfect water temperatures and tons of rising fish.

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

I have been fly fishing for trout in the south Island of New Zealand for a few years now with the GVFFC boys. These are true professionals and totally committed to ensure that all anglers get the most out of the weeks fishing trip. All l have to do is get to queenstown. All transport, accommodation, food, guiding and flies are provided. I am booked for a week in 2019 and cannot wait. If you are looking for a great weeks fly fishing pristine new zealand rivers and stalking large trout these are the blokes to contact. Mal F

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.
