From clear highland freshwater lakes, to remote saltwater flats, to urban angling in Sydney Harbor, the world’s smallest continent is massive when it comes to fishing opportunities. With tropical waters in the north and a temperate climate in the south, Australia provides an incredibly diverse line-up of unique fly fishing opportunities and a variety of species unlike anywhere else in the world. Incredible ecosystems – both on land and in the water – support over 1 million native species: over 80 percent of which are unique to Australia. From an aquatic perspective, the continent is home to over 4,000 species of fish (and counting)! Yellow Dog Flyfishing Adventures has partnered with some of Australia’s most experienced operators to offer some of the most varied and exciting fishing on the planet. With our saltwater locations, an angler may catch as many as 25 to 30 new species of fish on the fly over the course of a week, including the highly-prized Indo-Pacific permit and the beautiful Blue Bastard. A wide range of pelagic and inshore species exist in the Aussie salt – including permit, bonefish, multiple species of trevally, sailfish, tuna, barramundi and more. The list of freshwater gamefish found throughout the continent is every bit as diverse, with saratoga, Murray cod, and Tasmanian trout being some of the more targeted species.
