Fly Odyssey: Saltwater Fly Fishing Destination: Hervey Bay

Fraser Island: Golden Trevally fishing in a very special place

Fly fishing the Fraser Coast offers Australia's answer to the bonefish flats fishing experience and the Golden Trevally is the species that has taken the mantle of Australia's top flats fishing species. Golden Trevally are found during the summer months in the waters around Fraser Island and can be seen 'tailing' while feeding in the shallow sandflats. The challenge of then hooking and landing these fish makes a flats fishing experience to remember. When you consider that while casting at these tail wagging fish you will be shadowed by the world heritage listed Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world, you realise that you are fishing a very special place.

Hervey Bay fly fishing: a variety of fish species - Longtail Tuna, mackerel and trevally species

There is another species, the Longtail Tuna, that is highly sought in the sandy straits of Hervey Bay. Its blistering speed means quick accurate casting is required to hook a fish and miles of backing to land one. The species encountered when fishing the Harvey Bay region is constantly changing with the migration of several tuna, mackerel and trevally species ensuring that you never quite know what you may come across in a days fishing.
