Retail Floor Manager
The Flyfisher – South Melbourne
We’re always on the lookout for good people who share our passion for flyfishing and great gear.
We’ve built the biggest fly shop in the Southern Hemisphere by working hard, having fun, and genuinely caring about helping people flyfish better. That’s what sets us apart.
Let’s be honest — this is a dream job.
You’ll turn up each day working alongside a tight crew of passionate flyfishers, with no two days the same. There are real opportunities to grow, travel, and fish incredible places.

- Solid knowledge across gear, techniques, and flyfishing scenarios
- A positive, motivated attitude with attention to detail
- Confidence communicating with customers and team members
- Ability to prioritise and perform in a fast-paced environment
- Initiative and a desire to continually improve
You don’t need to know everything, but you do need a strong base across:
- Flyfishing gear
- Flyfishing technique
- Fly tying
- Selling
- Shop operations
- Customer service
What Sets This Job Apart
- You’re working at the centre of flyfishing in Australia
- Access to some of the best gear in the world
- A team that actually lives and breathes it
- Real opportunities to travel and flyfish
That includes:
- Time at Hinchinbrook with Australian Fly Fishing Outfitters
- Guided fishing opportunities out of our Yea store
- Access to a car and shack in Tasmania
- One week per year dedicated to flyfishing skills development and content creation

- Location: 211 Moray St, South Melbourne
- Hours: Full time, Monday to Friday
- Salary: Starting from $80,000 + super (with growth opportunities)
- Leave: 4 weeks annual leave + 1 additional week for fishing/content
The Culture
We’ve got a team full of personality. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we take what we do seriously.
We’re positive, we share knowledge, and we’re always pushing to be better — both in the shop and on the water.
The Opportunity
If you’re someone who lives and breathes flyfishing and wants to turn that into a career, this is a rare opportunity.
You’ll build your knowledge, improve your skills, and be part of a business that’s shaping the future of flyfishing in Australia.
