Confirmed by the guide
Over twenty years experience developing my passion for fly fishing, wild trout and for the amazing places experienced in Tasmania along the way. After many years of early morning starts, long days on the water and endless lessons learned from unforgiving trout - I have accumulated a deep knowledge of the intricacies fly fishing in Tasmania presents, and what it takes to be successful in this truly a special place that I call home. What excites me about being a fly fishing guide is the opportunity to combine my passion and knowledge of trout fly fishing in Tasmania with my experience in the hospitality and tourism industries as a qualified chef to create all-inclusive, unique and highly personalised guided fly fishing tours in Tasmania.
