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.

FISHING - MARCH

Yesterday at the casting there was a lot of talk about how the fishing was going, some had been out to Bynoe on Saturday, and although they had seen plenty of fish, not many were caught, reports last night back that up, flighty barra in the choppy conditions and not many fish caught.  The was nearly a seven metre movement though and the wind would not have helped.

Next weekend looks like a "Shady" weekend with quiet a few heading out for the neapish tides, could be good if the weather holds.  We notice that there are now group campsites with full cooking facilities out at Point Stuart Lodge, so we will investigate that further to see if it might be a good idea for a group fishing/flytying/drinking weekend out there. (see below)

Safari Camps

Situated in our private grounds close to amenities are 4 safari style campsites, which include a number of twin share tents and fully equipped kitchens.
Each tent is canvas roofed with insect proof shade cloth allowing for breeze through cooling. Camp mattresses are supplied (no linen). The kitchens are fully functional which include gas bbq’s, cook tops, refrigerator, lights & ceiling fans. They allow for comfortable entertaining and dinning away from the insects and wet season weather.
They are ideal for groups of fisherman, tour groups, family groups. The secluded areas have ample parking for vehicles, boats & tour vehicles.
Each camp can accommodated up to 16 people.                                                                                                                
Contact the lodge for pricing


The following weekend ....Most agreed that a four metre movement in the tide with a low around the two metre mark is often the best time for flats and rockbars, and this type of tide is happening on the weekend of the 15th March.


The next two weeks, have pretty good tides too, which is a change from last year, but we will have a look at them a bit later when we see how the weather is going.

Just on the weather....you will need a crystal ball to predict it...but the old heads say that a lot more rain is coming and it will be a long wet.   But remember their crystal balls may be obsolete?
