On Episode 178, we chat to Captain Kurt Rowlands of Fish's Fly and Sportfishing. On this sort of Australia day special episode, we thought you couldn't get more of an Aussie Fly Fishing dream than giving up everything moving to Weipa and working with one of the oldest and most respected guide outfits in Australia. Kurt, a former Hervey Bay Guide, had the universe show him that it was time to bail and head to Weipa, that was over a year ago now and we catch up with Kurt to talk about this huge life change. Yep, we defiantly still talk about the fishing, we also talk about the changes in the scene up there and finally, someone with common sense talks about stepping in the water in probably one of the most dangerous places on earth do so. 

Fish's Fly and Sportfishing is loved by the local community, all the guides live there full time and in a place where everyone knows everyone, that makes for a very seamless operation that the punters benefit from. If your heading to Cape York Australia, you'd be crazy as a dedicated flyfisho to look at any other operation other than the oldest flyfishing operation in Cape York that is staffed by absolute wizards on the floppy stick.

Also on this show, we bring up Australia enterprise, and some of our contributions to fly-fishing products world wide. We have a lot to be proud of regarding our Fly fishing product exports, we urge you to support those building us up, and look to not support those attempting to tear it down... that rising tide definitely lists all ships... support Australian based companies along with Aussie made and happy Australia Day!!
