Drive times are a rough guide and depend on the stretch John picks for the day.
Coming from Wunghnu or Katandra West? The same rivers are the closest for you too, and the drive is about the same.
A day trip from Numurkah
The King and the Ovens are the closest from Numurkah. Leave early, fish a full day with John and drive home in the evening.
Because of the drive, the full day is the better choice. A half day means more time in the car than on the water.
Making a weekend of it
Make it a weekend if you can. A night in Mansfield or Myrtleford puts two or three rivers within an hour.
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 and a quarter away. A three hour casting lesson there is a good way to start without a long day of driving. More about casting lessons.
Plan your trip from Numurkah.
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.
