Peter  is one of the most credentialed fly fishing guides and instructors in the world.There is no one in Australia more qualified than Peter to teach you fly fishing and fly casting.

Peter has been the Australian Casting Champion a total of ten times and he has twice represented Australia at World Championships. A twice silver medal winner at these events on one occasion Peter cast a single handed fly rod an incredible 74 meters.

In 1998 Peter also won the Australian Fly Fishing Championships held in the Snowy Mountains. This win earned him a place as the 'number one' qualifier on the Australian team to compete in the World Fly Fishing Championships, to be held in Australia in early December 1999.

In May 2000 Peter was again selected to represent Australia at the World Fly Fishing Championships held in Bristol - England. For Peter a career highlight was winning a bronze medal at this competition, the peak of the sport. Peter was also able to catch the largest fish of the competition, a brown trout of 61.5 cm on a dry fly from the River Test.

It is a rare skill to combine the two disciplines of competitive casting and competitive fishing and to date there are only two people on the planet that have won medals at both World Fly Fishing and World Fly Casting Championships.

In October 2007 Peter became the first Australian to be recognized by the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF) as a Master Casting Instructor. This is the highest level of casting instruction certification possible. Peter conducts his international casting program in New Zealand, Malaysia and the USA as well as at home in Australia.

Peter started guiding in 1994 and quickly developed a growing repeat clientele. Extensive trout fishing experiences in North America, New Zealand and mainland Australia have stood him in good stead in his homeland Tasmania.

Also no stranger to salt water fly fishing Peter has competed successfully in the Broome Fly Rod Sailfish Tournament on two occasions. He has fished throughout Northern Australia and International destinations for all manner of species from Bonefish and Barramundi to Tuna.
