SEASON 2022-2023

Last season provided us the best fly fishing in living memory, but season 2022 – 2023 is going to be even better. A perfect combination of events, including a full Lake Eildon and rejuvenated fisheries management, are aligning and will produce some incredible fishing in the local area this season.

In anticipation of this we have devised a very full program that utilises all of our nine guides and six boats. Multiday Goulburn River drift boat trips. A five-day Snowy Mountain trip and an autumn trip to northeast Victoria will complement our daily guiding and teaching service in Alexandra.

Further to this is the reintroduction of our international trips. South Island, New Zealand. Montana and Idaho, USA. Patagonia Argentina. As well as a couples only trip to Idaho, USA.

For the beginners we are running workshops every single weekend beginning on SAT 3 – SUN 4 SEPTEMBER and ending on SAT 11-SUN 12 JUNE.

Please read on for more detail and links to the various trips. We hope to see each and every one of you over the course of the next twelve months.

Kind Regards,
Anthony Boliancu
