Australia
offers many opportunities 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
Diamond Girl 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,
flies, custom gaffs etc.
Our
achievements in this field include 2 IGFA world records, back to
back wins in the International Black Marlin Fly Tournament, worlds
only triple fly slam and the most marlin on fly in a day(5). In
addition Kim has himself been champion angler at the Penn international
Sailfish Fly Tournament in Broome.
