The trout average 3-4lbs, 5-7 lb fish are caught regularly and larger fish occasionally! We encourage catch and release to maintain the quality fishery.
The usual means of transport is courtesy 4WD vehicle. I will pick you up from your accommodation in the morning and drop you back at the end of the day at a time that suits you.
As already mentioned there are at least 30 streams and rivers within 1 1/2hrs drive.
There are also several lakes nearby that offer lake edge fishing which involves sight fishing to cruising brown and rainbow trout using dry flies, nymphs or streamers. Given the right conditions this can be very exciting fishing.
Each day fishing usually involves a certain amount of walking. Spouses and friends are most welcome to accompany you. They can relax, sit on the bank, read a book, go for a walk or watch you fish the stream or river.
The options available each day are fully discussed and depend on experience, levels of fitness and the present weather conditions.
If you have several days available we can put together an itinerary that will enable you to experience the full spectrum of magnificent fishing available in the area.
