Saturday 29th May to Friday 4th June 2010
The western side of Cape York is a special destination for fly anglers.
The predominantly easterly trade winds; which are arduously on-shore in the east; are amiably off-shore on the western Cape and can provide ideal fly fishing conditions.
Miles of flats fishing over pristine golden sand beaches and crystal clear waters
makes sight-casting very exciting!
The Fishing There are many fun (and challenging!) species to target on fly:
Of course the mighty Barramundi…
the elusive Permit... and many other favourites:
Queenfish, Blue Salmon, Threadfin Salmon, Giant Herring, Fingermark, Golden Trevally, Giant Trevally, Longtail Tuna, Tarpon, Mangrove Jack, Cobia, Grunter, Bream, Saratoga, Spanish Mackerel, Grey Mackerel, Coral Trout, Sooty Grunter…
Previous trips have caught over 30 different species in one week!
What will your species count be?
All fishing is generally done within easy reach of the mothership
and lunch is usually taken back on board. This leaves all day to fish
the relatively untouched areas of this fantastic location. On dusk,
retire to the mothership and enjoy some great food, drinks and company
on the top deck, which acts as social base for the trip.
The Boat
The Mantaray has all the
comforts of home: it is fully air-conditioned, spacious lounge bar in
main cabin with TV/Video/DVD player to watch the antics of the fishing
in comfort. A full size galley and covered upper deck dining and
entertainment area with bar fridge and bar-b-que complete the social
areas.
The Guides
The western side of Cape York is a long time favourite fishing spot of Gavin’s.
The diversity of the fishing habitats and the species to catch are something special. He will hand pick his crew of fly fishing guides for this fly fishing only trip.
