A note from Justin Nye:

“I recently returned home to Hervey Bay on my trek around Australia when my arm was twisted by good mate Andrew Chozza Chorley from Hervey Bay Fly and Sportfishing to spend 3 months of the Juvenile Black Marlin season inside Fraser Island guiding for him.

This reel and a series of others came from 3 days guiding @capeyorkflyfishing where we set out to get Doug a sight cast Black Marlin on fly off the flats! As you can see in this reel, we had some moments; however, Doug probably experienced the most epic 3 days ever! We saw 40 Marlin on the sand int total, including 28 in one day. 

Doug managed to hook 11 fish and landed 5! All sight casting! Now, I’ve searched far and wide, and I don’t think anyone has ever racked up those numbers of Black Marlin on Fly, especially sight casting on the flats. I feel completely blessed to be a part of it.”

Nelson Oxley
I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
