Australia’s Premier Saltwater Fly Fishing Destination

The Wessel Islands are one of Australia’s most remote and untouched fly fishing destinations.

Nestled at the top of the Northern Territory, the islands present a network of coves, clear sandy flats, mangroves and freshwater creeks bringing unrivalled diversity of species and creates a true fly fisher’s paradise.

Aussie Fly Fisher’s ‘The Wessels,’ in collaboration with Wildcard Luxury Tours are currently the only licenced operator accessing these pristine island flats.

Two species of Indo-Pacific Permit are available – T.Anak and T.Blochii, the endemic “Blue Bastard” and Black Spotted Tusk Fish all provide an inviting flats challenge.

If you are looking for variety, Queenfish, Barramundi, Giant Trevally, Spanish Mackerel, Coral Trout, Golden Trevally, Brassy Trevally and Giant Herring all inhabit the flats, mangrove creeks and rocky island channels.

Join us for an incredible adventure in one of Australia’s last truly remote fly fishing destinations.
