Australia offers many oppertunities for the big game fly fisherman. From June to September large numbers of juvenile Black Marlin and Sailfish congregate inside the Barrier Reef between Cairns and Townsville. These fish offer anglers the best opportunity for landing Marlin on fly in the world. The action can be red hot with up to 20 shots a day.

The New Moon II crew are all experienced saltwater fly fishermen and have caught many billfish on fly. In addition we are one of the few boats equipped with a full selection of fly rods and reels.

There are basically three periods and areas of when to fly fish.

February to April - Port Stephens for Striped, Blue and Black Marlin.
