Capt. Gavin Platz
Gavin Platz is an internationally recognised certified casting instructor with the Federation of Fly Fishers (one of only two in Queensland) and was the first saltwater fly fisherman in Australia to receive this distinction. He is an international guide and operates his service from his base on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Gavin has worked with Nomad Sportfishing since 2006 as a specialist guide and flyfishing consultant. Gavin has guided at Marion, Kenn, Wreck, Flinders and Bugatti Reefs and has proven himself to be an incredibly good guide for both conventional and fly tackle. Gavin runs his own flyfishing outfitters and shop on the Sunshine Coast.
Gavin recently joined us at Wreck Reef as a specialist fly guide where he managed to catch and release 5 wahoo
on fly in one day on his own. The level of knowledge that Gavin posesses about saltwater flyfishing is a rare thing, and you can be sure to learn something, and catch heaps of fish while out with Gavin.
Over the years, he has fished in locations we all recognise and others we have never heard of, and has guided for some of the most well respected fly fishing personalities including Billy and Jodi Pate, Jack Samson, Cam Sigler and local Australian identities such as Steve Starling.
His knowledge of salt water fly fishing is second to none. He is an exhibition fly tyer and is regularly invited to make presentations to fishing clubs, schools and corporate groups on a range of salt water fly fishing topics. He is on the G Loomis Pro-Staff team. Gavin also contributes articles to a number of national and state fishing publications.
We recommend that all flyfishermen joining us on a trip speak to Gavin before they come out, and you can check out his website and shop at
