Down to Myrtleford, then south to Lake Buffalo and the upper valley.
Drive times are a rough guide and depend on the stretch John picks for the day.
Coming from Porepunkah or Wandiligong? The same rivers are the closest for you too, and the drive is about the same.
A day trip from Bright
If you're in Bright, you're never far from the water. A half day on the Ovens or the Buckland fits around everything else on a holiday.
For a full day, try the Kiewa or the upper Buffalo. Both are clear, quick mountain streams.
Making a weekend of it
Lots of visitors stay in Bright for a few days. Book two trips on different rivers and see how much the water changes from one valley to the next.
What's included
Every trip is a half or full day with John beside you on the water the whole time. Waders, boots, rods, reels and flies are all supplied, so there's nothing to pack but yourself. Catering is included, and dietary requirements are catered for.
Casting lessons in Benalla
Casting lessons are held in Benalla, about an hour and a half away. If you're driving up from Melbourne or Shepparton, Benalla is on the way. More about casting lessons.
Plan your trip from Bright.
Tell John where you're coming from, which days suit and what you'd like to get out of the trip. He'll suggest the river and plan the day around it.
