Light Tackle Sport Fishing – North Queensland
Chasing a Lure and Fly Fishing Charter with a difference, come aboard the Uncanny Angler as we explore the upper reaches of some of North Queensland’s most pristine rivers. The Russell/Mulgrave systems, the North and South Johnstone, the Tully and Murray Rivers, along with the few creeks, like the Liverpool and Babinda Creeks, all offer brilliant Lure & Fly Fishing opportunities. Spend the day casting a well placed lure up under an overhanging tree or into a eddy looking for that exhilarating strike. Chase a range of hard fighting predator species, including the Barramundi, Mangrove Jack, Tarpon, Jungle Perch and Sooty Grunter. All of these fish offer adrenalin pumping action on light tackle, enjoy watching the strikes happen, sight fishing at its best for both Lure & Fly fisherman.
Tropical Fly Fishing
Try your hand at landing some tough fighting fish, sight casting these hard hitting species is a tonic for the soul. Fly fishing the tropics is an experience you will not forget. With a good mixture of shallow water and deeper holes, you skills will be tested on this sweetwater experience.
We suggest you bring your own gear for this personalised activity. However, we can arrange for a fly package to chase these species from a local supplier if required.
Your Day On The Water
The day will begin with a 6:30am pick-up from your local accommodation, we’ll drive to the river of choice to begin our day. Depending on the tides we will either fish the lower reaches or head straight up to the skinny water. The drift will then begin, floating past snags, back eddies, and deeper holes, testing your skill in putting the lure on the spot, enticing a strike. Lunch and morning tea are included, and we will leave the river around 3:00pm. While this style of fishing is catch and release, you are welcome to take home a Barra (in season) or Jack.
