Tassie to Bass Tour

Marty and Elise from Tassie getting their first taste of bass fishing landing 1 from 10 encounters. With an unstable barometer and wet, windy conditions, the bass were keen to chase the fly but hesitant to commit to an all out attack.
The fish appeared to be either sideswiping or just mouthing the fly before retreating back to their snag. The end result was 8 missed hits and 2 unstoppables that easily busted the 12lb leader.
Bass can be a tough adversary at times but that’s what keeps us coming back for more. Thanks for a great day out on the water guys.

Golden Hour Surface Bite

Love it when a plan comes together for our clients. Glen, Matthew and Sam all catching quality fish on a great golden hour surface bite. These fish were all caught right beside our cabin which can be booked for 3 nights at a time. The cabin is self contained and comes with plenty of serenity!

Learning to Fish

Fantastic day on the water with Glen, Matthew and Sam. The boys were new to fishing and Matthew had never used a bait caster. By the end of the day he was skip casting under trees, learnt how to tie new knots and had a ball. It’s a gift to see people achieve a goal. Sam for the win with an 68cm cod off the top

Cod Season is Open

Jeff Forsee AKA Aotearoa Anglers joining us for the first 2 days of the cod season.
Jeff is a highly accomplished angler and long time fishing guide in NZ so it was a great honour to guide him through New England.
Jeff has an impressive list of captures including peacock bass in Bolivia and taimen in Mongolia, yet he was absolutely captivated by our Aussie native fish.
Kangaroos, emus, cockatoos, turtles and even drop bears adding to the experience for what was a great start to the season.

Mick the Fly Guy

Nothing pays like perseverance. After 4 hours of casting without raising a fish, I could almost smell donuts in the air. Even the guide was saying…”Put down the fly rod Mick cross to the dark side and take the baitcaster. You’ll catch more fish on lures” he said. But the guide misjudged Mick, you see Mick is a fly fisher and a Victorian. Mick had escaped the dictator and could even walk on water. Needless to say the donuts were not needed that day.
