Exploring Khancoban District Fly Fishing Weekend BOOK NOW FOR - 17th 18th and 19th FEBRUARY 2012
This weekend is being set up for those fly anglers that would like to explore the other side of the Snowy Mountains. As many rivers, steams and lakes will be explored over the weekend as we can, but at a relaxed pace to ensure you also have time to take in the beauty of the Khancoban area. You do not have to be an expert fly angler as instruction will be provided for those that still need some help and I can also provide all rods, reels and tackle if required. I have also employed the services of Neal Bennetts who has lived and fished the area for over 35 years. Neal is a retired member of the Professional Fishing Guides and Instructors Association (PFIGA) and he will be showing us some of is favorite fishing locations on the Swampy Plains, the Mitta, the Indi and Upper Murray Rivers and he has also exclusive access to wilderness waters, previously closed to anglers. If given the time we will also be fishing Khancoban Pondage. Click here to -View the story about our NOVEMBER 2011 trip. Click here to -View the story about our February 2011 trip.

THIS IS A
WEEKEND Your accommodation- Queens Cottage www.queenscottage.com.au Your accommodation at Queens Cottage in Khancoban will be trip back in fly fishing history. Queens Cottage was built in the 1950's to provide accommodation for her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II when she visited the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electricity Scheme, to officially open the Snowy 1 Power Station.
