James Norney

James has possessed an undeniable passion for fly fishing since picking up a fly rod as a young teen. Since, he has spent nearly every waking hour with fly fishing on the brain and continues to dedicate all his spare time to his passion. Fishing all around Australia and the World he is forever searching for great fishing and amazing photo opportunities. In 2019 alone James fished the Cocos (Keeling) islands, New Zealand, Japan, Kiribati and Aitutaki in the Cook islands.

He looks forward to seeing you out on the water, catching some fish, sharing his knowledge and creating an unforgettable fly fishing experience.
