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 EYES HAVE IT?

Roggie just got a delivery of more eyes and fibre to tie flies...I think that is 5000 or so eyes now and with all the fibre here, and still to come, he will be tying a lot of flies.......


  
........and I’m going to have a go too.  

Young Sam McCowan showed Roggie a few tricks of the trade yesterday and got me inspired, so a new vice on the way for ME.

   I’m going to try to tie some of Sam’s crab patterns and he, Sam, suggested that we should have a  ‘Unaffiliated Event’, and have a tying day, because, in his words, there is "too much knowledge in the two clubs not to share” which is so very true.

Here is a result of one of Sam’s crab flies, on a 6' 6" 3wt (THREE WEIGHT) from the Harbour.   Extreme fishing!
