MORE INFORMATION
WHAT IS TROLLING?
Trolling is
basically driving around in the boat with lures out in the water
while we wait for the fish to bite. It is a relaxing way to
fish, enjoy the day on the water in beautiful surroundings and
with a bit of luck you might even catch a trout for dinner! NO
EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
BOOKING GROUP SIZE
All of our tours are
usually private, that is - you book yourself and bring your own
party.
We do not have daily
organised charters where you book as an individual and you share
the booking with others. We find that personalised tours are
best.
If there is only you
and you want to share the cost with someone else then we will
try and find someone for you to share with but it would be
your responsibility to book a time and pay for the trip first.
Advantages of going
alone are that your captain will also fish an extra two rods for
you, so instead of fishing with just two rods you get to grab
the captains rods as well (if your quick enough!)
The boat is surveyed
for 8 people however we recommend that 4 people fish (that is
one rod each) and group size maximum is 6. there is no guarantee
we can get 6 rods into the water, you must take turns.
AGE LIMITS
There is an age
limit for Children. We find that under 8 is too young to have on
the boat for extended periods, due to safety reasons. 2 hour
tours can be arranged for children between the ages of 5 and 8
but only if the child remains seated at all times.
BOOKING TIMES.
Most bookings during
summer are either early or late in the day however we can
arrange times to suit every party.
In summer tours may
start at first light depending on daylight savings hours.
In winter our tours
normally start at 9am and we are off the water by 4pm
BEST TIME TO FISH
We recommend that
the early morning fishing and the weather is generally best at

FISH GUARANTEE
We are dealing with wild animals and we can
never predict how they will behave on the day.
Our catch rate on average throughout the year
is one fish per hour, but you can be lucky and catch more
and you can be unlucky and catch nothing!

FOR BEGINNERS - STAGE 1
Fly fishing is a
sport that requires the angler to be able to cast the fly line
with a reasonable degree of accuracy and gracefulness to enable
the artificial fly to land on the water in a way which will not
scare off the fish.
To enable an
angler to do this, you must first have casting lessons
and I recommend that you at least start with a 2 hour fly
casting lesson to get you started. I then recommend that you
purchase or hire tackle and continue to practise until you feel
confident enough to go on to our 2nd stage, a fly
fishing lesson. A fly fishing lesson can be conducted on
either the lake or the river.
BEGINNER CASTING
LESSONS. Prices
include all tackle.
2 hours - $120.00
Private
one person.
2 hours - $140.00
2 people
share (Extra person is $40 ppp2h)
3 hours extended please add another $60 for 1 person or $80 for two people)
The more people in
your group the cheaper the lesson - please ask for a quote!
STAGE 2
After you have
had a little casting experience, it is time to learn how to
fly fish.
You can firstly
learn to fish the lake (recommended) or you can learn to fish
the river (slightly more technical).
When you learn to
fly fish, you will be taught how to select the right fly for the
conditions of the day, and then you will learn how to use that
fly in an effective manner to catch fish. You will learn how to
‘read’ the water and other conditions that will affect the way
the fish will feed on the particular day. What you learn in 2
hours with a professional fishing guide, would take you more
than 2 years by yourself, even with the aid of books and videos.
STREAM, RIVER and
LAKE CRAFT. (Boat fishing
methods also available)
For those that have
already done a little casting, we also teach lake, river and
steam craft.
A skill which is
very necessary to be able to catch fish.
2 hours - $150.00
Private
one person. (Extra people is $40 ppp2h)
3 hours - $200 .00
Private
one person (Extra person is $60 ppp3h)
The more people in
your group the cheaper the lesson - please ask for a quote!
STAGE 3
After you have
learnt to fly cast and had some basic instruction on fly fishing
techniques, it’s time to book into an extended guided fly
fishing tour! (SEE PAGE 1
FOR PRICES)
On a guided
tour, you will actually be putting into practice what you have
learnt over stage 1 and 2. You will be guided through the best
way to catch the trout given the ‘conditions of the day’. This
is the most difficult part of fly fishing, that is, being able
to make an accurate assessment on the best way to catch the fish
given current conditions. You will also be guided onto different
types of waters, with the emphasis on the best place to fish
depending on the conditions of the day!
Again, this is
the best way to speed up your fly fishing ‘career’ to give to
you most success. This will result in you having the most
enjoyable time of your life!
Even if you don’t
catch fish, fly fishing isn’t always about catching fish, it’s
about being out in the open country, relaxing and enjoying the
beautiful scenery.
As they say ‘Fly
fishing isn’t a sport, it’s a religious experience!’.
Gillies WEEKEND Fly Fishing Courses
For those that
have the time to take a weekend off, a fly fishing course is the
BEST way to learn. You start by learning all about and
assembling the tackle, tie the knots. Then learn to cast, learn
all about entomology and correct flies to choose. Learn how to
fly fish a lake, a river and a mountain stream, and lots, lot’s
more. On the weekend course you can sign up for instruction only
or we can provide a complete package including accommodation and
most meals. Meet others with similar interests and have lots of
FUN doing it!
Please enquire about
the dates and prices of our next course!
INTRODUCTION TO
TROUT FISHING
BAIT & SPIN TOURS
Bait and lure
spinning methods are commonly used to catch trout in the Snowy
Mountains and these methods are possibly the best land based
ways of catching a trout. Bait fishing can only be carried out
on the lakes whilst lure spinning can be done on both the lakes
and in the rivers and streams.
Steve Williamson
Fishing Adventures can teach you one or both of these methods of
catching trout!
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED
!
All tackle supplied
just turn up and let us show you how to catch a trout!

Bait fishing and
spinning on the lake is suitable for larger groups.
It is recommended
that 6 people is a maximum for river fishing.
AGE LIMITS
There is an age
limit for Children. Experience has shown us that under 5 is too
young for both methods of instructional fishing.
5 to 8 year olds are better taught to cast
lures as bait fishing can sometimes be boring. (But casting
lures can be dangerous due to the hooks. Casting plugs without
hooks can be used until experience and accuracy happens.)
When bait fishing you have to sit and wait,
be quite and have patience to catch fish.
We do however specialise in teaching children
how to fish. (Just not necessarily catch fish!)
BOOKING TIMES.
