Pete Murphy

Joined October 2005
Reason for joining: After moving to Hobart from the north-west, I wanted to improve my fly fishing and tying skills and knowledge, and also find people with similar interests. The club shacks were also a factor. In 2003 I enrolled in Brian McCullagh's tying course and he introduced me to the club. I am very grateful to the members of the club for what they have taught me, and their comradeship.

Favourite fly patterns: Royal Wulff, Black Spinner, Adams, yeti patterns tied with rabbit and mink fur, stick caddis, and nymphs.

Favourite type of fly fishing: Dry fly and nymph fishing, both in rivers and lakes, early and late season lake wet fly fishing.
