Formed over 20 years ago, the Australian Fishing Network (AFN) began operation with the release of our flagship publication, Freshwater Fishing Australia magazine.

Over the years, publisher Bill Classon launched a further two periodicals; Flyfisher and Saltwater Sport Fishing now known as Sport Fishing Australia magazine. With the rapid growth of kayak fishing, Sport Fishing Australia now incorporates Yak Fisher kayak fishing magazine.

In addition to publishing these four high quality products, AFN has become well-known for producing quality fishing books and reference materials, including a range of waterproof fishing maps and guide books that are gradually being expanded to cover all of Australia’s popular fishing areas.

Some of Australia’s best fishing authors, such as Steve Starling, Frank Prokop, Steve Cooper, Geoff Wilson, Philip Weigall, Greg French, and more, have had books published by AFN. These include the definitive Geoff Wilson’s Complete Book of Fishing Knots and Rigs, which has sold over 200,000 copies.

Now a progressive publishing and mail order company, AFN has expanded its range of exceptional fishing products to include items that every angler of every style, needs and uses. Always on the lookout for books and tools to help the angler, AFN has something for everyone, whether it’s the superb range of Casio fishing watches, fishing maps and guides or the sensational GoPro HD cameras.
