Fly Fishing

The Ebor/Dorrigo Plateau is well known for having some of the best trout waters in Australia. Anglers will find the fighting qualities of our fresh water trout both challenging and enjoyable. When visiting the neighbouring trout hatchery you can view wild trout weighing up to 3.5 kgs. Let our experienced guides take you out for the day and teach you the art of fly fishing. (all equipment provided).
Fishing Note
Only guests residing in the Moffatt Falls Lodge or Moffatt Falls Cottage may fish the river that they overlook . This river is strictly fly-fishing only and catch and release. Guests may fish other rivers in the area if they wish to spin fish or keep the trout for consumption (permission from adjoining landowners is required).

Moffatt Falls Lodge and Cottage have been built to accommodate the sport of fly fishing. Keen anglers may find this accommodation more suitable for fly fishing purposes than the cabins.
