Across to Moyhu, then up the King Valley to Whitfield.
Drive times are a rough guide and depend on the stretch John picks for the day.
Coming from Gapsted or Bowmans Forest? The same rivers are the closest for you too, and the drive is about the same.
A day trip from Myrtleford
From Myrtleford a half day works well. You can fish the Ovens or the Buffalo in the morning and be home for lunch.
On a full day there's time to get well up the Buffalo or the Buckland, where the water is smaller and the valleys are steeper.
Making a weekend of it
You won't need to stay away for most trips. The Kiewa and the King are each about an hour, so they're day trips too.
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 away via Wangaratta and the Hume. If you'd like to sharpen your casting, a three hour lesson there is worth the trip. More about casting lessons.
Plan your trip from Myrtleford.
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.
