Aussie Flyfisher has been a pioneering leader in developing sustainable fly fishing operations across Australia. Their diverse offerings cater to a wide range of anglers, with both land-based and mothership options available at varying price points. What makes their program truly unique is its year-round accessibility — depending on the destination, fishing opportunities are available in nearly every season. This flexibility is ideal for anglers with fixed schedules, making it possible to fish Australia at almost any time of the year.
Every destination within the Aussie Flyfisher portfolio offers a unique fishing experience. Your choice of location will largely depend on the species you are most interested in pursuing.
Many areas provide exceptional opportunities for Permit fishing, particularly the Indo-Pacific Permit and Anak Permit. Other highly sought-after species include Giant Trevally, Blue Bastards, Tuskfish, and Golden Trevally.
Fishing is conducted from custom-built skiffs with shallow drafts and equipped with electric motors, ensuring access to a variety of flats and inshore waters. Anglers will also have the chance to walk and wade along beaches and flats, as well as target a diverse range of offshore species in deeper waters.
