insect life. Enjoy dry, nymph or wet fly fishing, dependent on time of the year and
who knows you may catch a double figured fish! We have a relatively new Lake,
‘Windsors’, covering new ground this Winter, which should create the Tasmanian
phenomenon of ‘tailing trout’, through shallows for exciting Spring site fishing.
Don’t be surprised to be broken off or find yourself well out into the backing, so
come down and accept the challenge of 28 Gates and if you don’t fly fish, we are
only too happy to teach you. No fishing licence is required as it is a private fishery.

Cooktown is 330 km north of Cairns and can be reached by a scenic 4hour drive or

the main river is called the Endeavour River in this area of ideal fishing.
The styles of fishing varies from estuary for big barramundi and mangrove jacks and
