The Troutfit Guiding is based in Cooma, in the heart of the Snowy Mountains NSW. We host fishing trips, both Flyfishing and Trolling on the famous Snowy Moutains Lakes of Lake Eucumbene, Lake Jindabyne and rivers throughout the Monaro and Snowy Mountains. During summer we host fishing trips in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. Please contact us for dates if you are interested in a guided fishing trip in Tasmania.
I hold an Inland Coxswain AMSA Certificate and both boats we use (in both NSW and Tasmania) are in Survey to AMSA specifications. I have a current First Aid certificate and carry a first aid kit.
Professionally I have been a Paramedic for the last 43 years, and have found fishing to be a great form of relaxation and stress relief. I have taken many First Responders and Defence personnel fishing in the Snowy Mountains area and they have found it relaxing.
I’m an avid Fly Tyer for many years and enjoy fooling Trout with flies that I tie.
I use state of the art rods and reels which are all supplied. Waders and wading boots can also be supplied if you require these.
For the beginner I can take you on the whole fly fishing experience, from teaching you your first cast and landing your first trout on fly. Along the way you will begin to understand lake and stream craft, and be part of the immersive experience of fishing with a fly. I can take you to places in the Snowy Mountains where you will get time to take in the Alpine environment, and breathe some fresh mountain air. For the more experienced fly fishers, I will hone your skills to the next level and take you to locations that need that level of skill to be able to fish successfully.
For those of you who are interested in a different style of fishing, I can take you on our fully surveyed vessel and demonstrate different trolling techniques includng flatlining, lead core lines and downrigging. Trolling can be a very social experience, using different lures as well as engaging in good conversation with friends or family.
