Equipment

In our island home, girt by sea, criss-crossed with amazing inland waterways and boasting over 4,000 species of fish, it’s not surprising that fishing is one of the most popular activities in Australia.

Fishers cover the full spectrum of our population and there are plenty of options: fly fishing in mountain streams and lakes, the thrill of offshore game fishing, dangling a hand line from your cabin cruiser or the local jetty, sport fishing clubs and competitions to test your skills, sourcing food to feed a nation of seafood lovers or just a great reason to get outdoors and relax.
