What people say

  • I can’t rate our experience with Jimmy of Snowy Valleys Fly Fishing enough. Jimmy’s experience of the art of fly fishing and his knowledge of the Tumut river was amazing. Seeing my son’s passion for fly fishing thrive under Jimmy’s guidance was a memory that we will both hold for a long time. We are definitely rebooking next time we are in the snowy valley.

  • I have to say this was a lifetime experience with around 40 trout to the boat it was mind blowing , coupled with the amazing surroundings and James (Jimmy's) highly detailed knowledge of the waters and patient instructions you can’t go wrong.It felt like you were in another country and I can’t believe it’s in our own backyard.Highly recommended !
