Australia has come a long way since the days when Captain Cook stumbled ashore to find an Aboriginal way of life that went back for tens of thousands of years. Away from the cities, Australia has a stunningly diverse landscape which boasts everything from vast barren deserts where emus and kangaroos bound through the arid surroundings, to tropical rainforests, rugged mountains and sparkling beaches. But what about the fishing? Australia has countless areas to explore and fish, though none can compete for sheer remoteness and virginal fishing as the magical Northern Territories.

The fishing in the Northern Territories is considered to be one of the best tropical fly
fishing destinations in the world. Its waters provide a variety of saltwater and freshwater fly fishing environments for both the experienced and novice fly angler. Fly fishing experiences range from sight casting in the clear flats, to hooking pelagic fish in the blue water, to precision casting amongst the mangroves. There are hundreds of kilometers of unspoilt coastline for you to explore, or just sit back and relax in the tranquility of a remote wilderness environment that is unmatched in its beauty and diversity.

The bays, inlets, rocky headlands, coral reefs and billabong's of the Northern Territories provide opportunities to fish for 250 recorded species, including Barramundi (famous for high leaps and strong runs), Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, Trevally, Coral Trout, Golden Snapper, Jewie, Red Emperor, Cod, Queen fish and many species of Shark. Knowledgeable fishing guides with first-hand experience of seasonal and tidal conditions will do their best to ensure that the expectations of the individual angler are met, resulting in a truly unique, 'fishing adventure,' in one of Australia's most remote and untouched locations.

What our customers have to say: "With just so much space, so much water and so little anglers no wonder our trip turned out to be one of a lifetime. Just need to save up to visit again, worth every penny " Chris & Marcus Collins "The wildlife just amazed us, where else can you fish and watch hundreds of different species of birds all at the same time. One hell of a country one hell of a trip " Timothy Hill "We have never returned from a trip with so much determination to go back. Thank you for the trip of our life, see you next year .
