Fly Fishing Aussie style
Ever thought of going after rainbow or brown trout? Then, take the plunge and check out the schools of fish just waiting to be caught near Falls Creek. There is an abundance of trout in the crystal-clear streams and lakes of Victoria. Unlike some fishing options Alpine Waters Fly Fishing head guide, Peter Hull, offers the fishing experience at 'gentleman's hours'. None of this getting out of bed at the crack of dawn. Peter offers three and five day packages at Falls Creek. So this means in winter, take to the skis and in the warmer months of the year, take up rod and lure for recreational angling. To get the full details, such as pricing and availabilities, call the man himself on 0429 440 222.
