Hunting and flyfishing in Aus
#5061 - 21/11/03 02:21 AM

Will be in Aus in Oct 2004:

Any suggestions as to hunting /fishing at that time?

I have to be in Sydney for a conference which would keep me busy for a few days then it'l be about 3 weeks of kicking about.

What kind of weather / Season is it at that time?

Need to get up north and do salt water fly fishing and maybe get something furry to bleed in the sand?

Welcome to NitroExpress.com.

October is of course mid-spring in the Southern Hemisphere and lovely weather in the South. About my favourite month with warm sunny days and cool to cold nights.

Most of the European deer species will be casting their antlers - reds and fallow. I would give chital in Northern Queensland a try. Sambar would available.

The tropics will be warming up and getting more humid. But water buffalo in the NT would also be a definite target.

Of course ferals such as pigs and goats are always in season.

Sorry my fishing knowledge is sadly lacking. Not sure about the best seasons but barramundi in the NT is fantastic to fish and if hunting sambar in the Vic Alps a fly fishing rod wouldn't go astray.

October is about the best time for hunting in my area of North Queensland. It will be getting a bit warm but it will be dry, the grass wont be as long so visibility is better. As water wont be so abundant, game will be centered basicly around water holes.
Around Sydney and most of Australia, the weather will be perfect for hunting. It is also pretty a pretty good time for fishing up north as well,( either North queensland or Northern Territory/Darwin )for Barramundi. See www.fishingcairns.com for fishing info.
