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.

What do you think of this? How messed up is the Tourism Fishing Industry in Queensland...And the Queensland government 10's of millions of dollars are spent world wide targeting, catching and RELEASING (yes releasing) Permit. Why do we do this just for cat food or fertiliser. This is so so so SAD



UPDATE from FishingEarth 
Just remember everyone that its not the people doing it its the fact that it is allowed to happen. I have a friend that thinks its sad I send people fishing as its cruel to the fish... that is her perspective and her right to think that. I have friends in the army (people object to that) friends in the mining industry (people object to that) and my family have been farmers for almost 100 years and (people object to that). We need to get different industries for the people that make their living from this. And we need better netting practices as well. Everyone has a right to a job and an income. We need to change the Queensland Governments thoughts on what fishing tourism is worth as well as rec fisherman and woman spend a lot of money.
