The kingfish are targeted on fly rod and are skillfully spotted and stalked. They are powerful fighters and need good quality equipment to overpower them. This phenomenon is sure to attract many visiting anglers from around the globe in years to come. As well as Kingfish there are other species worth targeting while staying in Collingwood.
