about us

A social group of dedicated fly fishers who are passionate about fly fishing in the tropical north of Australia and equally as passionate about the close camaraderie this sport brings. This passion and dedication led to the creation of the NT Flyfishers Social Mob blog site; an interactive and creative outlet where everyone can share our wonderful fly fishing adventures and link into the “after fishing” social events we enjoy in this incredible part of the world.

JAN 11, FIRST REPORT


From Phil and Stephen
Hello Roger,

Sorry no pics as forgot the camera.!!

Met Stephen at the boat ramp at 6.20 and launched soon after. Water smooth and only a light breeze. Tried to get to the point near the gas plant however not enough water. Went straight across to Weed reef.

 After about an hour got on to the fish. No wind to speak of and smooth water - what more could you want. Between us we caught Queenfish, Trevally, Spotted rock cod, Fingermark.

 The queenfish were breaking up madly in big numbers and huge fish - some over a metre and most about 60 - 80 cm mark. Would not actually take a fly - tried everything from a pink thing to small green clouser,  incl red/black, blue/white combo Two about the 70cm mark actually jumped right over my fly at about 6 feet from the boat. The queenfish activity stopped when the water was high enough to go the flat areas of the reef. One over a metre followed the fly to the boat. The queenfish activity stopped when the water was high enough to go the flat areas of the reef. 

A few barra started showing themselves when the water went over the flat rocky area, not to mention the rays, sharks and turtles. Saw a few Trevally getting around on the flats as well. Even at about 2.00 pm when we came back the water was so smooth that we were up on the plane the entire run.
