Wilderness Fly Fishing now offers both half-day and full day drift boat services on some of Australia’s best rivers, including the Goulburn River. Using a drift boat will give you full access to the river which allows you to fish 100% of the river in total comfort.

Our experienced drift boat guide, Bo Nikolic is arguably Australia's best drift boat guide. With more than 20 year's experience, Bo will have you in the hot spots for your entire drift. Both our American drift boat and NRS inflatable raft can accommodate one or two fly fishers.

If you have never fished from a drift boat it is one of the most exciting ways to fish a river with most fish being caught close to the boat, making for some electric sight fishing. You can fish for trout from the drift boat from September through to early June, so join us for an awesome experience on the water.
