About Us

BWCflies is an Australian Owned, independent Fly-Fishing Shop based in Tuggerah on the NSW Central Coast.

Our range of fly-fishing gear, fly-tying materials, fly tying tools, fly boxes and accessories is always expanding as new product and new brands are being sought from around the world to bring them to the Australian market for you to enjoy.

At BWCflies, our goal is to deliver fly fishing product that represents high quality and consistency each and every time, regardless of the order size.  It’s our passion and we take personal pride in upholding our professional and service ethic goals.

In June 2021, Cherie and I opened our bricks and mortar Fly Fishing Shop in Tuggerah, a mere 100sqm of shop packed with gear for the fly enthusiast.  In May 2025, our store expanded to a new location to fit the vast range of fly-fishing gear inside of the four walls. We had simply run out of space and transitioned to a brand new 160sqm, single level specialist fly fishing shop where we are specialising in a full range of fly-fishing equipment, flies and fly tying materials to suit Australian Freshwater and Light Saltwater Estuary game.

Our fly-fishing equipment and fly-tying range, are also representative of recognised Brands that will provide confidence, improve your fishing session and are proven to be durable when using the product.

The Back Story – Brett Clarke

Fishing for me began at an early age, on family holidays during the summer months on the Mid North Coast of NSW. During my teens, bait fishing turned into throwing lures which quickly progressed into fishing the fly.

Fly tying was the natural progression in my angling obsession. Dad manufactured my first tying vise, my skills were rugged for a few years before being honed by a leader in the materials supply chain of the era, who, to this day is a supplier of top-quality gear to the fly industry.

I began tying commercially in 1986/87 for the tackle stores in Western Sydney, focusing on freshwater patterns for the local species including Trout, Herring, Bass, Carp and Mullet with a few custom flies for the larger salty predators around and off Sydney

A real sense of satisfaction is achieved when hearing of clients stories and receiving pictures of their successful captures. Feel free to email your pics (use the mail icon above) of captures using products from our Fly Shop for inclusion to our Instagram and/or Facebook page.
