Reason for joining, the club? A shared interest with others who are just as crazy as me.
How long have you been a fly tyer? I started tying flies when I was about 18 - nearly 50 years ago.
My interest is mainly in dry flies. Over time I have become more interested in size 14 - 18 emerger type dries. The buggier the better.......

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.
