Cobram and Barooga are on the Murray, a fair way from the trout. John's rivers start about two hours south east, so most trips from here are a long day or a weekend.
Drive times are a rough guide and depend on the stretch John picks for the day.
Coming from Barooga, Strathmerton or Katamatite? The same rivers are the closest for you too, and the drive is about the same.
A day trip from Cobram
A day trip works if you start early. Aim for the Ovens or the King and you'll still get a full day on the water.
A half day is hard to justify with four hours of driving, so most anglers from Cobram book the full day.
Making a weekend of it
A night in Myrtleford, Bright or Mansfield makes the trip much easier. Book two days and fish two rivers.
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
Benalla is about an hour from Cobram. A casting lesson there is a closer option if you'd like to learn before committing to a trip. More about casting lessons.
Plan your trip from Cobram.
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.
