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.

FROM THE BYNOE BUSH CAMP

Still out in the bush at Bynoe, Lord Jim and Hags have returned to town ..Jim is about to fly out to the Land of the Long White Cloud (NZ) and have a fish with Dasher(Darryl Harper).  They are looking for trophy trout, and Jim wants a spell from the heat.

Speaking of heat it has been terribly hot out here during the day whereas the nights have been quiet cool up until last night.  The humidity is back up, it is threatening to rain, and last night was sweltering.  Hope the rain comes soon.

Fishing has been from just after 5am to around midday because of the heat.  Even the fish are looking for shade but they are still out there. We have been having a few fish cook ups, and with a mix of fish.  My favourite is still golden snapper followed by queenie, barra does not seem to have much taste for me, and last night we had some fresh barra, and it still seems tasteless.   Thank goodness for 'Slap yo mumma' chilli powder and salt, otherwise no taste for me.

Hags with a typical barra all were in the 60's

Some good golden trevally around too

Hags gets a lot of these diamond trevally
There was also another 'show pony' boat out on the water, Graeme the Grey was doing sea trials with his new Hewes.
