Blue Mountains Full Day Fishing Expeditions

You’ll be visiting a location where the fish see few humans so make sure you are prepared for the remoteness of the location. The adventure start with a steep and sometimes challenging walk into a river gorge. This typically takes about an hour and a half. Once on the river we’ll fish the major pools and small cascades along the river. The stream is narrow in places making for challenging casting at times. The walk out is normally via the same route as the walk in.

Wild trout are found in large numbers along the river gorges in the Blue Mountains wilderness. Your guide will show you the techniques that suit the area and conditions.

Participants must have very good fitness and be comfortable walking over very steep and rough terrain.
