Right at the top end of Australia is some of the best flats and mangrove systems you are ever likely to encounter.
Cape York is one of the last frontiers with crystal clear waters, snag filled estuaries and hundreds of sandy flats.

This is wild country, which hasn’t bore the brunt of civilisation . Fishing the east coast's Jacky Jacky, Middle & Escape Rivers and west coasts Jardine River and southern creeks and beaches, these remote waters are evidence to what fishing should be like without commercial and recreational pressures.

Fishing here is as good as it gets, with nearly every tropical species available on both east and west coasts by either fly or lure fishing methods. From the base at Loyalty Beach Lodge, each coast can be fished within half an our of each other by road giving you more options and safeguarding against bad weather and shut down conditions.

The top end is home to some of the biggest populations of pelagic species in Australia such as queenfish, trevally ( various species), tuna (longtail, mac), mackeral (spanish, broad barred).

These waters offer some of the best action to be found in the country, with schools of queenfish and tuna so thick some days hooking up is just a matter of hanging a line over the side, making for easy targets whether fly or lure fishing.
