Arnhem Land Fly Week is back

AFTER a break of eight years the Arnhem Land Fly Week is back.

The Barra Lodge will host Arnhem land Fly Week from 9 – 15 November 2023, during the Build-up fishing season.

Join celebrity guest, renowned fly fishing guide and award-winning cameraman John Haenke, for 5 days of fly fishing in remote fish-rich waters of Arnhem Land.

John Haenke has been passionate about fly fishing for more than 50 years. He learned to love the outdoors, hunting and fishing from his father at a young age, and these activities have become an instinctual second nature to him. His earliest years of fly fishing were in the Northern Territory, and he has revisited the Top End several times.

John spent many years working as an award-winning cameraman in the film and television industry, using his skills and knowledge of the outdoors and fishing to produce content for national and international networks. One highlight of his career was filming with the late Lefty Kreh – considered the greatest salt water fly fisherman in the USA – in tropical northern Australia and Papua New Guinea.

John currently resides in the Whitsundays in tropical north Queensland where he continues to enjoy guiding fly anglers onto XOS barramundi, sight fishing the world-class saltwater flats, and exploring the pristine backcountry of his home region.
