Welcome to Headwaters Art and Fly Shop

Located in Mackay, Headwaters Art and Fly Shop is a small, independent store dedicated to the heart and soul of fly fishing. Whether you're just starting your journey or you’re a seasoned angler, we offer quality fly gear, locally tied flies, and handpicked products that support the Australian fly fishing community.

We’re proud to stock flies tied right here in Australia—by local tiers who understand our waters, our fish, and the spirit of adventure that drives us all. You'll also find a curated selection of unique gear from the USA and around the world—items chosen for their performance, craftsmanship, and character.

Our mission is simple: to help grow fly fishing across the tropics and beyond in our own small, unique way. Stop by, gear up, and join the community.
