riverfly.com.au Information

RiverFly 1864 has been operating since 2005, when it was originally founded as a river-based guiding business. It's a family owned and operated business by Daniel and Simone Hackett, which has grown to become one of Tasmania's most respected guided fly fishing operations. Supported by an impressive rate of repeat customers and word-of-mouth recommendations, our growth has led us to open FlyShop 1864, Tasmania's first Orvis and Patagonia dealer fly shop, (FlyShop 1864 established 2011), and RiverFly Wilderness Huts (circa 2012), offering guided fly fishing in Tasmania's famed Wilderness World Heritage Area. RiverFly was a Tasmanian Tourism Award Finalist (2013, 2014), a Silver Medalist in 2015, and the Gold Medal Winner for 2016 in a first for the Australian fly fishing industry. Daniel and Simone are proud to have developed a brilliant team of skilled and enthusiastic fly fishing guides, with fly fishing experience from across the globe, and excellent teaching and guiding skills. Our guides are equals, with each offering consistent guiding and teachings, but all from their own backgrounds and with their own individual personalities. No single guide is the best guide, a strong bank of knowledge is better than one. Book your RiverFly trip with confidence as this team is Tasmania's finest and each member makes great company on the water. RiverFly gives generous support to the Tasmanian community, the environment, and individuals in need. We are proud to help our team support their preferred organisation also.
