I guess I should start at the beginning, about 4 years ago I was at the rise fly fishing film festival, there was a short clip of Taimen fishing in Mongolia. I distinctively remember thinking that going to Mongolia and fishing for these fish would be one of the greatest fly fishing adventures anyone could…
A chance to slip on the boots, don the pack and disappear into the wilderness. Scenes of harsh alpine scrub and boulder fields dotted with crystal clear trout waters have distracted me from work all week. For some, work is just a tool to gain money which allows them to fish. I am one of…
Say “Raaarrghhhh” Whats Up Peoples of the Fly Fishing Community! Super stoked to have been included as part of the iheartthefly fraternity.

Gin-Clear Media have knuckled down in recent years, to bring fly-fishing into our lounge rooms, workspaces and man caves. Their seemingly effortless delivery hides the fact that sophisticated equipment is painstakingly employed. They quickly grabbed the attention of anglers with The Source series, with instalments featuring Tasmania, New Zealand and Iceland. Audiences worldwide soon flocked…

Well that is what mine was called anyway… More than six months…
Loved this – Andre does it with ease.
As per the last few years, me and a few cobbers ventured into Tasmania’s Western Lakes for a couple of nights camping, hiking and fly fishing. Once again, the mission was planned well in advance and by the time Christmas had rolled around we were champing at the bit to get out there. Destination this…
These guys are dead-set fucking legends. If they were in close proximity to me I may wish to touch them on the fly rod. In my mind we are freinds. In reality we are strangers. I will continue to stalk them twice daily until they accept my offer to sit down, have a couple of hundred…
Tasmania’s Western Lakes region is surely the most enchanting area the sight-fishing angler would hope to encounter. Shallow lagoons and tarns, crystal clear water and silty-bottomed waters brimming with trout that are sometimes keen for a decent feed. My life has been pretty hectic of late, with work and family life taking a hold, which…
