Sunshine Coast

Who said you can't flyfish in paradise?

Endless stretches of beach and surf, scenic hinterland, Noosa, Mooloolaba, Australia Zoo and much more make Queensland's Sunshine Coast a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the Australian beach. Put into this some of the best saltwater flyfishing available and you have a perfect place to experience the Aussie lifestyle. There just isn't a better way of pleasing the whole family while you indulge your passion.

Certain times of the year offer different experiences with March - June bringing some world class tuna fishing within a stones throw of fabulous Mooloolaba beach. Or if a mountain foray is more to your liking then tangling with the prehistoric Saratoga in one of the close impoundments might be the go?

To make your stay on the Sunshine Coast memorable with the best possible opportunity to catch good fish we offer one of Australia's most experienced saltwater flyfishing guides.

These excursions are conducted by a team of guides who have had many years of local guiding experience to provide you with in-depth information and skills coaching to enable you to successfully fish for any of the numerous estuary and offshore species that inhabit the Sunshine Coast waters.

Numbers per guide are limited to a maximum of 2 participants so that each individual receives plenty of hands-on tuition and maximum fishing time.
