IN THE SALT FLY MAG

At Christmas time we all take time out for family and friends. At In The Salt we have done just that and want to say a massive thank you to all our loyal readers, supporters, advertisers and contributors and we wish you all a very fishy Christmas and New Year.

We also have the opportunity to reflect on the year(s) gone by and to find perspective for the future. So, with that said we have decided that with the events of 2020 about to unfold we are taking a year off from the magazine and will pick it up again in 2021 with the same great articles and photography we have brought over the past 3 years.

You can still access all past issues via our website https://www.inthesaltflymag.com.au our Facebook and Instagram accounts will still be open, if you’d like to send us a message we’ll still be checking those and will answer as soon as we can.

We hope you all understand our choice and after 3 years we need this new chapter to refocus and build on an already amazing magazine.

This year off doesn’t mean a year off from gathering articles, photos, amazing trips and other epic content, but it does give us some breathing room and we look forward to bringing you the same stoke we have brought to you over the past few years once we return to the airwaves.

So stay safe, travel light and keep a bend in that rod!

Till we see each other again, stay vertical amigos.

over the past few months.

I’m sure you’ve all heard of the award winning film,

Our Story

We love fly fishing and everything to do with it. We talk fly when we see our friends, it finds its way in to the office at work and around the coffee table there are countless magazines of far off destinations. We collect not only knick-knacks but knowledge from our travels and experiences. Salt is in our veins, it’s where we come from and why we fight so hard to get back to it as often as possible. Saltwater fly fishing isn’t easy, it’s a challenging way of catching fish but anyone who has ever caught a good fish on fly in the salt will almost always tell you it was worth it!

We want it to become a common topic when talking about fishing and dissolve the idea that it’s “too hard” or “people who fly fish are old and all they do is walk river banks in search of small trout”. Don’t get me wrong there’s a place for it but we’re about getting onto the flats and stalking down big permit and GT’s or searching for bonefish in ankle deep water. Feeling the blistering run of a large Spanish Mackerel and getting your knuckles so busted up, you can’t make a fist!

IN THE SALT was born from the need to get more information on Australian saltwater fly fishing and everything it offers. The essence of our magazine isn’t just knowledge and photos, we want to help you experience the passion we have for the sport and show you how you too can be a part of it. You will certainly find lots of great articles throughout our pages and hopefully, not only will you grow and learn new things, but also be inspired to get out there and cast a fly. For those just starting out, that you can see it’s not hard to get into fly fishing and the rewards are so great. This should be one hell of an adventure and we are super stoked that you’re a part of it.

Sharing the excitement and experience with our friends is what fly fishing means to us. We want to share our passion with the rest of Australia and the world to show case what we have on offer!
