Combine high country horse riding and fly fishing for a truly stunning experience. During your riding and fishing adventure you'll enjoy wading through a clear mountain river in search of large brown trout, riding alongside it on your trail ride, and taking in country air under a starry night sky.

Come and experience the beauty of the Victorian high country on a two day horse riding and fly fishing adventure. We can tailor the tour to suit all levels of riding and fishing ability. The package includes a full day of fishing and one of riding, three nights accommodation and delicious meals.

The day starts after a hearty continental and hot breakfast. Your fly fishing guide will brief you on the days plan. This will be dependent on river levels, current hot spots on the river, weather, and your ability.

There are 3 good rivers, The Bundarrah, Cobungra and Mitta Mitta with access varying from very easy to quite challenging. We'll send you off with a picnic lunch and hope you return with a good fish that can be smoked, cured, baked or fried. Novice fishermen will receive instruction and supply of equipment.

Prior to the horse ride guides will match you to a horse and brief you on the days plan. Once mounted on your horse, the day of riding will take you through the beautiful Alpine National Park, alongside and through clear rivers, following bush tracks, up and over sprawling mountains and through open farm lands.

A picnic lunch of tasty, thick sandwiches, home made slice or cakes and fresh fruit is taken in somewhere scenic. Novice riders will be given instruction prior to and during the ride. Supplied are helmets, oilskin coats and riding chaps.

Your accommodation is either twin share, single or double, with linen and towels supplied. Large deck space ensures that amazing views and a sparkling night sky can be enjoyed. Dinner may be osso bucco cooked in a camp oven, or perhaps a slab of roasted porterhouse. All served with bowls of fresh vegetables and a superb glass of King Valley red.
