Reasons for joining: I joined the club to mix with a wider circle of like-minded types and to learn more about fly fishing and fly tying. I haven't been disappointed as I've learned plenty, made friends and improved the content of my fly box(es) in quantity and quality.
Favourite Fly Patterns: My favourites change from year to year but in-vogue for me (season just passed) is a lightly dressed Fiery Brown Beetle and a modified Bibio Hopper (has a possum wing to help with flotation and sighting).
Favourite type of fly fishing: I love it all. I enjoy fishing 'down and slow' with a team of nymphs when the going gets tough. But like most, sight fishing is my favourite so fishing the wind lanes on a bright and breezy day is up there and of course being in the midst of a good dun hatch with fish-up rates among the best. In recent years I have become enamoured with fishing rivers as well.

Reason for joining: Fellowship! I have always enjoyed sharing my fishing. The banter at a days end. The one that got away. The one that didn't get away. Different techniques and so on.
So when I started fly fishing over 25 years ago it seemed natural to join a fly fishing club to share ideas, to watch, listen and learn and to participate. I started to tie flies at the same time. Unfortunately, my tying expertise does not reflect this vast experience.
Favourite fly patterns: I like impressionistic fly patterns, that look like the real insect, super impressionistic nymphs, realistic hoppers, good dun copies. But if I was to pick one fly as my favourite it would be Hans van Klinkens Klinkhamer. A brilliant emerger style of fly.
Favourite type of fly fishing: I like river fishing, the cross currents, clear water, challenging fishing. However, I find myself on the Tasmanian lakes in summer more and more these days.

Reason for joining: I have been a keen fly fisher from the age of 12 years and have dabbled in fly tying on and off over the past 40 years. I'm now starting to redevelop my fly tying skills and have joined in some sessions at Doug Miller's place. I'm recently retired and should have more time for fishing and fly tying. I moved to Hobart from the NW Coast a few months ago and am interested in meeting some southerners who share my passion for fly fishing. I know some people in the Club, including an old friend Pete Murphy and fished with him and John Smith in New Zealand in February 2010.
Favourite Fly Patterns: Woolly bugger as a general purpose wet, also bead headed nymphs and nymph emergers. Dry flies include the royal wulff, parachute royal coachman, olive humpy, black spinner, Adams and iron blue dun.
Favourite type of fly fishing: Dry fly fishing with light gear in clear, rocky bottomed rivers. Polaroiding and dry fly fishing in the highlands and western lakes. I have also become interested in drift fishing from boats over recent years.
