Packrafting and Fly Fishing the Goobarragandra River | Snowy Valleys NSW

The beauty of packrafting is that it grants the ability to discover the unexplored and untouched. Tree blocking the river? Pick up your raft and carry it around any obstacle that stands in the way. Jimmy and Chris do just that as they take their first voyage down the lower section of the Goobarragandra River on their beloved Kokopelli packrafts. With new water comes new fishing opportunities. So the fly rods come out for a fish along the way.

J & C! What a great way to spend a day. Awesome to see the Goob featuring, but you know you're going to have to now start working your way higher - a fish in the gorge is the challenge! 🙂Looking forward to it. What a great area. Cheers PP

It’s a special river. I’ll drag Jimmy through the gorge with a rod soon. -Chris

It’s nice water past their place.

If you are going to advertise what great things packrafts are (which they are) can you please ensure you represent common sense on the water and wear a helmet. No one in whitewater would paddle a river with grade 2 without one - it’s reckless and a poor representation to the packraft community which already has a less than great representation for safety. Thank you for making nice videos.

I'd love to have a go in one of these packrafts... they look like so much fun on the rivers up your way!

[@TomsOutdoors]

They are great fun, easy to paddle and really open up the possibilities for exploring small rivers.
