We will set off on a day of engaging and exciting fly fishing adventure as we build in all the things you need to know to learn or better your fly fishing foundations to catch fish and love the sport like we do.

A long lonch by the river in the shade of the gums, willows and casurinas followed by a long break to recoup whether it be with a nap or a walk around the grounds – you may just want to fish!

Reconvening for an afternoon for more fly fishing activity

Coming into the evening we will conclude the first day with some refreshments by the water and disperse to get ready for an incredible evening starting at the veranda bar and restaurant for a feast of unique and locally sourced produce by the 3 Blue Ducks

An air of excitement always builds as the rafts are prepped for a day floating down the mighty Tumut river. Breaking into groups of two anglers and a guide we will take off up river to launch these incredible boats. Drift boating for those who havent experienced it, is an experience like no other. Floating quietly through the tree lined river catching fish from these comfortable custom boats we will make our way to points where we will pull over in the wilderness for more land based sessions, picking out the best the River has to offer. It can be hard to focus on the fishing with the stimulation of the drifting experience but there is plenty of time to soak it in. Theres nothing quite like it.

Another lazy lunch in the company of the river, and we will finish out day drifting right back to where it all began on the foreshore of Nimbo Fork Lodge for the conclusion of this incredible and unique experience.

Sunday evening
This is the conclusion of the formal package however you may want to book in another night at the Lodge or if you need to be somewhere thats up to you.

We sincerely look forward to this amazing time and hope you can join us for this special fly fishing occasion.

Learning to Fly Fish | Craig and Lou

A stunning day drift boat fishing the Tumut River for this couple of thrill seakers. New to flyfishing, they came with the right attitude, the one that say, were here to learn, enjoy and come what may.

Not long after launching we were into fish. It took no time for the pair to get in the rhythm and start picking the water apart. At times we just floated and laughed and at times there was competitive banter. One for one they both ended up with a great rainbow trout and a great brown trout only a couple of casts apart. A massive total catch with a couple of cherries on top.

On the guided fly fishing trip we learn the basics of fly fishing, have a lot of action on dry fly and nymphs as well as a lot of practice on the casting, fighting and controlling of the fly fishing system. All in the comfort of our specially designed NRS rafts. Cold drinks and snacks are a plenty.

Ladies on the Fly | Maddi And Denya

A couple of fly gals getting into their trout fishing.

Maddi and Denya are a couple of eager young adventurers. They came to Haul with the ambition to learn how to fly fish. With a love of fishing and trying anything new, the girls got straight into their work. With sharp minds they mastered the drift fishing quickly and from humble beginnings in the morning, you’d find it hard to believe their skills by the end of the day. We spent the day talking about the nuances of fly fishing and the beauty that surrounds the river as well as the myriad of options to explore in the Snowy Valleys. The girls set up a camp site on Barwidgee, a local Hip Camp site on the river where they relaxed after a big day of reeling in great fish. They both remarked that this had been one of the most memorable days they can remember and we left them to soak in the scenes by the mighty Tumut River.

High Country Gold | Mike & Souts

Mike Baz and Souts go hunting for gold in the Snowy Mountains high country

We jumped on some top of the line ebikes with our packs set for a few days. Mostly we travel light but we allow for some creature comforts and gourmet dining. After a good push into the wilderness we came to our destination, a great old hut nestled on the junction of a creek and the main river. After laying down the packs and getting set in our fishing equipment, we spent two days exploring the valleys spoils.

The fish were very excited and hungry and the quality of the fish were incredible. We sight fished big dry flies along the edges where the large browns lay in wait. All day action and when it got too dark to cast we retreated to the hut for some tails, ales and excellent food.

Day two was another exquisite session leaving us with some serious treasures for our efforts and a casual ride out on the ebikes.
