Paul Markey

I joined the club in February 2018. Having recently moved to Tasmania, I joined the club to meet others who share my passion for the sport and improve my tying and fly fishing skills. I have been impressed by the wealth of fly fishing knowledge in the club and hope to learn from other members through attending club meetings and activities.
Six years ago I started tying saltwater patterns for flats species in northern Qld. More recently when I moved to Tasmania I began to tie trout flies which have presented a whole new challenge (not to mention a few more boxes of tying materials)!
Some of my current favourite fly patterns would be: royal wulff, parachute adams, possum emerger, and for saltwater: fuzzle shrimp and ragin’ craven.
My favourite type of fly fishing is polaroiding and sight casting to fish.
