About the weekend
“Exploring Khancoban District" 26th, 27th and 28th November 2010 18th, 19th and 20th February 2011 18th, 19th and 20th March 2011 Numbers are very limited. Book early to avoid disappointment.
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 Bennett’s 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.
THIS IS A
WEEKEND
Your accommodation- ‘Queens Cottage’
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.
Purchased by the late Mike Spry in the 1990’s, is was always Mike’s dream set up Queens Cottage as an exclusive fly fishing lodge. Mike was the grandfather of guiding in Australia and was responsible for setting up the Professional Fishing Guides and Instructors Association of Australia (PFIGA) in1990, so our trip is also a celebration of Mike’s life in what is also the 20th Anniversary of the PFIGA.
Queens Cottage has recently been purchased and renovated by Andrew and Anne Laycock, previous owners of the Khancoban Hotel. Andrew and Anne will be taking us back in history showing us some of the memorabilia from earlier days of Queens Cottage and Mike Spry’s personal fly fishing collection. Andrew and Anne will be our hosts on Saturday evening’s dinner.
With a huge variety of waters to fish, there will always be plenty of options depending on the conditions of the day and time of year that we intend to fish.
