Terms & booking conditions
Last updated: 12 November 2026
These conditions apply when you book a guided fishing trip with Fly Fishing NQ (“we”, “us”). They’re written to be easy to read. If anything here is unclear, ask us before you book.
1. Making a booking
You can enquire using any Book now button on this website (it opens a pre-filled email), by email or on Instagram. A trip is booked once we have confirmed the date, time, trip type and price with you in writing (an email or message is fine). The person who books is responsible for passing these conditions on to everyone in their group.
2. Prices and payment
Prices are in Australian dollars and are as shown on our Services page or as quoted to you in writing for a tailored trip. We’ll confirm the price and how and when to pay when we confirm your booking.
3. Deposits and cancellations
As set out on our Services page: no deposits and no cancellation fee. If your plans change, please let us know as early as you can so we can offer the time to someone else.
4. Weather, tides and conditions
We plan trips around the conditions. If weather, tides, water conditions or safety concerns mean a trip shouldn’t go ahead, or needs to be shortened, moved or changed, we’ll work with you to reschedule. The skipper and guide’s decision on whether it is safe to go out, or to keep fishing, is final.
5. Safety on the water
- Please follow the guide’s safety directions at all times, including on the boat and when moving around it.
- Tell us before your trip about any medical condition, injury, mobility need or anything else that may affect your safety, and whether you can swim.
- Bring sun protection, a hat, polarised sunglasses, water and any personal medication you need.
- Please don’t come aboard affected by alcohol or drugs. We may end a trip early if someone’s behaviour puts themselves or others at risk.
6. Fishing rules and permits
All fishing follows Queensland fisheries rules, including size and possession limits and closed seasons. Some waters need a permit: for example, fishing in many Queensland stocked impoundments requires a Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme (SIPS) permit. If you’re not sure what you need, ask us when you enquire.
7. Gear
Premium fishing gear is supplied if required or desired. Please take reasonable care of it. You’re welcome to bring your own gear; it remains your responsibility.
8. Catches
Fishing is fishing. We fish the best conditions and times to give you the best chance, but we can’t guarantee you’ll catch a particular fish, species or size.
9. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law, including that they will be provided with due care and skill. Nothing in these conditions excludes, restricts or changes any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
10. Responsibility and risk
Fishing from a boat is an outdoor activity with some inherent risks, such as slips, hooks, sun, insects and changing weather. We take care to keep those risks low, and we ask you to help by following the safety directions above. To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss or damage caused by things outside our reasonable control, or for loss of or damage to personal belongings you bring on the trip.
11. Photos
We may take photos during your trip. We’ll ask before we share any photo in which you can be recognised. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.
12. Changes to these conditions
We may update these conditions from time to time. The version that applies to your trip is the one on this page when your booking is confirmed.
