After recent wet years, the rivers in the Tumut, Snowy Valleys and Snowy Mountains regions are in fantastic condition - as are the trout!

The stage is set for a truly amazing season ahead.

Experienced Anglers

There are a multitude of options on offer for the more experienced angler within the Snowy Valleys area.

After recent wet years the rivers are in fantastic condition - as are the trout! The stage is set for an amazing season ahead.

Locally there are several options on offer within a 30minute drive of Tumut. Here Jimmy is continually working hard to secure private access for his clients to some of the best locations, right on our doorstep!

A little further afield, the famed Kosciuszko National Park is a fly anglers paradise. Here there is endless scope throughout the season for sight fishing to beautifully conditioned rainbow & brown trout.

If prospecting likely riffles and runs with a dry dropper is your ideal, the high country is a dry fly fishers dream!

Towards the season end, the infamous “spawn run” begins. Here trout of all sizes move out of the lakes and into the rivers, this is truly a sight to be seen and the potential of a trophy sized trout is real!

If you have something in mind or would like to take a trip deeper into the wilderness, reach out and lets hatch a plan!
