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.

THE ORR REPORT

G’day Cathie & Roger:

Had a bit of fun over the break, visited daughter in Sydney and sundry relatives around Brisbane, but found time to cast a fly occasionally.
Caught a few trout, best was a nice brown (photo attached) from Lake Lyall near Lithgow. 


 Fishing with the new 5-weight amongst sunken black-wattle at the time, pretty lucky to get it to grass really.  Had to give up on the dry fly because of shoreline wave action from all the wake-boarders and ski-boats (!) and resorted to a #10 Alexandra...and those blackberries in the back-cast are a bitch!!

Also ‘discovered’ bass on the flyrod, nearly as good as barra on the light gear. Might have to plan a serious trip to target them from canoes...

Short story up on the web for those who are bored enough to read my ramblings: http://www.marrakai-adventure.com.au/F_RecentObsession.html (see next blog)

Anyway, hope you had a great Christmas and the New Year brings plenty of takes and a minimum of snags!

Cheers

Tony (& Rebecca)
