This post is a work in progress and lists the different species of fish I have landed on fly in Central Queensland.
I have had a look through my photos from the last couple of years and added those that I have found but there are still some photo gaps which I’ll add as I find the photos or will re-photo next time I catch the fish and add them at that stage.
As I get time I will also add some text about each species and also some fly suggestions.
