Aussie Fly Fisher Snowy Mountains

Fly Fish the Tumut or Swampy Plain Rivers in the Snowy Mountains in one of our bespoke drift-boats. You'll be able to access every part of these brawling tail-waters, stopping river-side for a picnic lunch. Early season on these rivers sees fish actively nymphing as well as rising to hatches and aggressively attacking a well stripped streamer; if you’re lucky the mighty Kosciuszko Dun could hatch at any time in Spring. The long warm summer sees these constantly cold tailwaters shine; Hopper fishing at this time of year is exceptional, with the high air temps and cold-water allowing trout to feed all day. Late season sees river levels drop and excellent hatches can happen at any point in the day. The size of these rivers also makes them a perfect place for single or double-handed Trout-Spey, Skagit or Scandi casting. They offer full day and multi-day drift-boat trips. Both Tumut and Swampy Plain Rivers are an easy drive from Sydney or Melbourne and they can recommend and arrange accommodation ranging from a luxury trout lodge to riverside camping and everything in between.
