Overview Of The Experience

This experience is about more than just catching quality bream.

It's about learning unconventional, innovative techniques that are utilised by a select few anglers to extract trophy bream that the majority of anglers only dream of catching on lure and fly. Techniques that once you have mastered them will serve you well anywhere you fish for bream in future.

Your experience takes place on stunning back country micro estuaries hidden away from the public on privately owned land. Your guide is highly attuned to the vagaries of these systems and will choose your precise fishing location based on recent conditions and an exquisite understanding of bream behaviour.

Once on the water you'll learn to identify the opportunities laid bare by conditions and will get attuned to the finer points of safely and stealthily applying wade fishing techniques that the masses are yet to cotton onto.

This is no ordinary fishing experience and guests are warned that many of the conventional wisdoms of mainstream bream fishers will be challenged. An open mind and a willingness to learn will have you wondering why this approach has remained secret for so long.

You can expect to walk away with a new appreciation of the humble bream, plus exciting range of knowledge and tools that will redefine your ideas of bream fishing. With any luck, you'll also have some photographs of the local fishy residents for the brag board.

This is a land-based experience and requires participants to walk and to wade, so a moderate level of fitness is necessary.

What's Included

Your experience includes all of the tackle, including waders, lures, rod and reel combo's that you require for the day. Personal effects such as hat and sunscreen, camera and polarised sunglasses are all you'll need to bring.

That said, you are welcome to bring your own tackle if you wish, but may find that the specialist gear provided by your guide will be required to get maximum results.

A light lunch and refreshments are provided and we can assist with transfers and local accommodation if required (additional costs apply).
