about us

A social group of dedicated fly fishers who are passionate about fly fishing in the tropical north of Australia and equally as passionate about the close camaraderie this sport brings. This passion and dedication led to the creation of the NT Flyfishers Social Mob blog site; an interactive and creative outlet where everyone can share our wonderful fly fishing adventures and link into the “after fishing” social events we enjoy in this incredible part of the world.

TOMMY ...AN ABSOLUTE BLOODY LEGEND!!!!

You may all recall the bit of a horror story of Dennis's vehicle and trailer running off the ramp in Barramundi Drive into the depth there.   The locals rallied around and tried to get a diver to go down and attach straps to the vehicle so it could be recovered, but apparently no divers were available.  But it is Bynoe and they don't let you down.

Well, along came the 'Legend of Bynoe',  and with apologise to 'Superman'  he was 'faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, disguised as a mild mannered pizza cook  from Sand Palms' ......TOMMY. 


The Mild Mannered Legend
Tommy took the bull by the horns, or should I say the goggles and flippers and attached the lines to the sunken vehicle and trailer allowing it to be pulled out.  Here are some of the photos....

It's out there somewhere, make sure we are crocsafe!!!!

Are you sure that bloody croc is not around, or did that big shark eat it?

I can feel it with my feet!!!

Yep, there it is

The Diesel decided to leak
