Joshua Hutchins (Hutcho)

Founder and Director

Growing up, Josh spent most afternoons nagging his parents to drive him to new fishing spots and streams. Since then, his passion to explore has only grown, leading him to over 30 countries across Europe, Asia, South Pacific and the Americas.

Today, Josh struggles to choose between the camera and the fly rod. He loves capturing his experiences and his photography is featured in leading publications such as FlyLife magazine, National Geographic, Fly Fisherman magazine, and the Flyfish Journal. Josh shoots content for brands such Patagonia, LOOP Tackle, YETI, Costa, Scientific Anglers and Tourism Australia.

Josh loves working with the AFF team, inspiring more people to keep exploring the world on fly.

Imran Ahmed

Director – Aussie Fly Fisher Travel

Raised along the bustling streets of Singapore, Imran’s a fast-paced adventure junkie that turned his passion for the outdoors from hobbie to hustle.

Not one for a shortcut, Imran’s entry into fly fishing was a baptism of fire, building his first fly rod and hopping on a plane to New Zealand to figure it all out. Needless to say, he was hooked.

Today, Imran’s a keen adventurer, rod builder, fly tyer, angler and forever student of the craft. When he’s not chasing pelagics off his Stand Up Paddleboard at home in Sydney Harbour he’ll be camping in the hills of the Snowy Mountains searching for that next adrenaline hit. Oh, and he’s not too bad on the business side of things either, joining the AFF team to help us expand into new markets.

After a few years refining his craft and continuing to explore local waters, he eventually pursued his true calling as a full-time fly-fishing guide. AMSA accredited, Murray shows his diligence by constantly spending days off looking for new spots and opportunities. From trout to Murray cod; bass to yellow belly; streams on foot or lakes from a boat, Murray is versatile in getting the job done. Murray heads up our Blue Mountains and Central West Guided Days, along with our new boat-based guiding experiences.

Peter, born and bred Tasmanian, first discovered fly-fishing in his early 20s. After years of exploration, Peter has an intimate knowledge of Tasmanian trout. His second passion is photography, particularly fly-fishing and wildlife photography, ensuring any spare time is spent on the water. He can usually be found walking a stream edge or a lake shore with a fly rod in one hand and his trusty Canon DSLR in the other. Alongside his full time guiding, Peter is a regular contributor to Fly Life magazine and other international publications.
