2010/11 FLY FISHING TUITION OPTIONS:

1. One-on-one tuition - standard guiding rates apply (see below), can be done on any day of the year. All tackle/waders supplied. Venue - pick from one of the streams closer to Melbourne (Yarra River @ Warburton, Goulburn River @ Alexandra/Thornton, King Parrot Ck, etc.), or further afield by arrangement.  

2. Introduction to Fly Fishing - 1-day Fly Fishing School - $195 per person, min. 6 persons. All tackle/waders supplied. Lunch & refreshments. Run usually on the Goulburn River near Alexandra, but available pretty much anywhere if sufficient numbers arise. Slight adjustment to price may occur depending on distance. 

3. Weekend Fly Fishing Primer - 2-Day Fly Fishing School - $485 per person, min. 6 persons, includes 2 nights’ accommodation in riverside cabins, meals, tuition, all tackle/waders supplied. Run usually on the Goulburn River near Alexandra 

4. High Country Stream School - a 4-Day/3-Night school - $1095 ea. for 4 persons, $1235 ea. for 3, $1375 ea. for 2. Includes 3 nights accommodation at The Blue Duck on the Cobungra River (approx. 40kms from Mt Hotham), 3.5 days fly fishing tuition. Fishing & tuition takes place on the Upper Mitta Mitta & Bundarra Rivers nearby.

5.  Learn while on a fly fishing tour - cost varies according to tour package. A very popular way to learn, many of our past clients have booked in for tours with the objective being to learn 'in the field'. For this option, simply enquire about our list of 11 tour options, or we can easily custom-make a tour for you.

6. ‘The Compleat Angler’ school – a 6 day/6 night live-in school that, in its initial stages, will be run annually for a maximum of 12 persons, min.6. $1860 pp. This comprehensive course is the latest addition to my array, and has been constructed for the maximum effectiveness and enjoyment of participants, providing ideal riverside accommodation, quality meals, course notes and provided equipment for participants. If it proves as popular as I’m hoping, I’ll run it according to demand. Venue options include the Goulburn River @ Acheron, and the upper Mitta Mitta River at Angler’s Rest.

7. ’Private Tuition Weekend’ 2-day/2 Night Weekend package - $950 each for 2 persons (max.4) - not everyone is comfortable in a group format, so this ‘1-on-2’ weekend is perfect for couples who prefer a more intimate weekend, or a couple of mates who prefer to have the guide’s attention all to themselves. A $160 saving off normal guiding rates. Venue options include the Goulburn River @ Acheron, but can be extended to the upper Mitta Mitta River at Angler’s Rest*.

*A price increase would be incurred if Option 7 were held at Anglers Rest, due to the greater distance from Melbourne.

Please Note: While all our fly fishing courses are nominated as being held on specific waters, if you have a preference for a different site, and can supply the minimum number of participants for that particular occasion, we are happy to look at a change of venue subject to suitability & other basic requirements.
