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.

UPDATE ON HARBOUR FISHING




We have been getting a lot of information on both Darwin and Bynoe harbours.  Plenty of small pelagics around, with some big ones hunting them up.   On the flats heaps of smaller barra, up to the 60cm size.  The barra seem to be on the little bit higher tides in the creek mouths around small bushes.  Jim came across mobs of barra in groups of a dozen or so that were all tailing.  The fish were black, not the normal silver with yellow tails.

  We were wondering if they were newly arrived in the saltwater from the fresh upstream and acclimatising to the salt?  Who knows.

Some have been out and into the sailfish, they had a ball, but I will leave that for another story.

Tides this weekend are very slow and rising slowly  from around 3m early morning to just under 5m in some places.  So nice easy flow for those of you who want to explore without getting stuck.   Maybe not the best for fishing, but who knows.  

At least you are on the water.  There are no fish in the lounge room.
