Reason for joining: Fly fishing is one of those infinite sports. You are always on a learning curve just when you think you have it worked out a trout will come to your fly swim with it on his nose then disregard it with contempt and slowly swim away. I have joined the Fly Tyers' club because I wish to learn and share ideas. The Club is renowned for its expertise and I hope to be able to participate in this environment of knowledge and sharing. After purchasing Australia's Best Trout Flies, I participated in a Fly tying course conducted by contributor David O'Brien in 1997 and have been tying ever since.

Favourite fly patterns: Bibio Hopper, Stick caddis, size 18 Black Spinner, Red Omni.

Favourite type of fly fishing: Any day fly fishing with mates Muzza and Aspro.
