Australia: Exmouth

Fly Fishing the Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef region provides the opportunity to fish at Australia’s only known bonefish fishery. The discovery of this fishery occurred in 2005 when Brett Wolf lead a team of intrepid anglers in search of Australia’s holy grail. There had been incidental reports of bonefish from various locations around Australia but until that point the discovery of a viable fishery had not occurred. It was on this trip that Brett uncovered a bonefish population at Exmouth. It has since been described by editor of Flylife, Rob Sloane, to be "one of the most significant events in the history of saltwater fly fishing in Australia", and now you have the chance to experience it for yourselves.

Exmouth lies approximately 1200 km north of Perth in Western Australia. Ningaloo Reef, famous for its whale shark migration and diving, runs 250 km along the coastline of the region. The reef lies anything from a few hundred metres to a few kilometres offshore - thus forming a giant lagoon with extensive shallow sand flats and crystal clear water. The clear blue skies the region is famous for combined with small tidal movements makes this a perfect bonefishing environment. There are a host of other species on the flats as well that can prove quite the distraction when looking for bonefish. They include golden trevally, giant trevally, blue trevally, goldspot trevally, queenfish, spangled emperor, milkfish, giant herring, tarpon, cobia, sweetlip and permit.

Fly Odyssey provides fully guided fly fishing packages to Exmouth as well as offering comprehensive advice on family holidays to the area. Exmouth is a great destination for the family with the outstanding Ningaloo coral reef and whale watching two of the more popular activities in the region. For a great flats fishing destination Exmouth is probably the best option in all of Australia.
