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.

Who



Over recent time “The Mob” has been very active on the fishing front. As always not everything follows the script.

Who – in their eagerness to get on the water, left their vehicle lights on FULL BEAM at the ramp? Wonder why there was a slight problem on return trying to start the vehicle. Good job others had jumper leads!

Who – takes a “bunny rug” away with him to wrap around himself at night to remind him of home?

Who – slept through the alarm and 5 telephone calls leaving his interstate visitor waiting on the footpath at the airport at 1.30am?

Who – went for an anniversary manicure and got 20% off the price?

Who – went for 3 days with only 3 hours sleep because his roommate snored so loudly? He was heard to be offering $100.00 for a set of ear muffs at the end of 3 days.

Who – kept casting his fly at his partners sighted fish and scaring it away so that neither of them caught it?

Who – was seen eagerly savouring Sauvignon Blanc from a glass? Glass being a 750ml long neck, class was shown by the use of a stubby cooler to keep the Sauvignon at the correct temperature.

Who – launched his boat without securing the rope correctly only to see it drift off into the early morning haze? 10/10 to Richard for owning up to this one in an earlier post.

Who – was saved, half a dozen times, from falling off the veranda to a head cracking fate from his contorted sleeping (coma) position in a chair? Remind me never to drink Sauvignon again!

Who – will be posting a fishing report from Melville Island very shortly?

Who – spent 2 hours under the trailer 200kms from home trying to replace the axle that had parted company from the trailer? Yes he did it and got home.

Who – has not got a “Mob” cap?

If anyone has any little titbits about Mob actions, don’t be afraid to let the world know.

Remember, “You’ll never never know, if you never never go. Get out there and fish.

  1. It's not a bunny rug, that wore out years ago, its just a safety blanket.

  2. Funny stuff Jim, I feel like I have been missing out!
    I don't have a cap and would love one, where do the donations need to be directed?
