Fish when it suits you.
Three ways to get on the water, all built around your schedule and the best conditions. We don’t fill calendar slots: we fish the times that give you the best shot.
- No deposit Pay on the day, not before
- No cancellation fee Plans change. That’s fine.
- Airport pickup Townsville, with the skiff in tow
- Premium gear Thomas & Thomas, Shilton, Cortland
Tour 01 · Half-day sessions
Impoundment Barramundi
$350 per person, per half day

- He sends the dates and sessions with the best conditions
- Pick one and it’s confirmed in writing
Tour 02 · On call

- Purpose-built boat, premium gear and a dedicated guide
How it works

Tour 03 · Built for you
Custom Tour
Quoted on discussion
Got a species or fly fishing wish list? Want to combine a few of the fisheries North Queensland has to offer? We have options from creek to coast and would love to build a trip around it.
Best for: multi-day trips, specific species and anything that doesn’t fit a standard tour.
How it works
- Tell Clint what you want to chase, when you’re free and who’s coming
- He puts the trip together, from creek to coast
- Price agreed with you in writing before anything is locked in
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Do I pay a deposit? When do I pay?
No. There’s no deposit to hold your date and no cancellation fee. You pay on the day of your tour, at the price Clint confirmed in writing.
How do I know my booking is confirmed?
Clint confirms every booking in writing (by email or Instagram message) with your date, session times, pickup and price. Once you have that, your tour is locked in.
What happens if the weather turns?
We plan around the conditions. If weather, tides or safety mean a tour shouldn’t go ahead, we’ll work with you to move it to another date at no cost.
Can I book at short notice?
Yes. Tell Clint when you’re free and he’ll let you know the best window in that time. The on-call permit tour is built for exactly this.
How many people can come?
Up to two anglers at a time. The skiff is set up for two fishing with Clint, so everyone gets proper time on the casting deck.
Where do tours start?
Most guests are picked up and dropped off at Townsville airport, with the skiff in tow and all the gear rigged and ready.
Do I need my own gear?
No. Thomas & Thomas rods, Shilton reels and Cortland lines are supplied, matched to the fishery. You’re welcome to bring your own.
Do I need a fishing permit?
Fishing many Queensland stocked impoundments needs a Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme (SIPS) permit. Clint will tell you what you need for your tour when he confirms it.
What should I bring?
Sun protection, a hat, polarised sunglasses, water and any personal medication. Everything fishing-related is taken care of.
Something else? Ask Clint a question or send a DM (opens in a new tab). Full details are in our booking conditions.
