I’m all about having a laugh, enjoying the day and making sure the client has a great time. I read the person I’m with, tailor the day around what they want and try to create those special moments and memories that make the trip more than just a day of fishing.

Totally up to the Client, depending if we are doing a trout day walk and wading or a drift boat experience. Chasing trout in the high country or down low in the tail water in a d by rift boat. Another popular choice that is a growing attraction is chasing the Native Murray Cod. This can be done by walk and wading or drifting the Murray river looking for a River monster.
