Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, Cape York and the rest of far North Queensland.

It's home to some of the best bluewater marlin fishing on the planet while inshore during the wet season which runs from November to the end of March, there's some sensational fishing for the iconic Australian Barramundi.

The Cairns fly fishing scene is full of very experienced and well accomplished anglers. The Cairns Fly Fishers is the local fly club who gather regularly to exchange ideas, tie flies and fish together.
