Shane Broadby112 viewsI really joined the club for a bit of networking between fly fishers and fly tyers so as I don’t get stuck in a rut so to speak with my tying and fishing. I’ve been thinking about it for a while as I know several members in the Tas Fly Tyers and the club has a great history.
I started fly tying at school when I was in grade nine ,1985 I think. Taking an activity course that was hosted by Max Hardy, I never even owned a fly rod at this stage but I knew that my uncle was a keen fly angler. I learnt to tie flies before I was shown how to cast.
Favorite patterns vary from season to season and from water to water, but the Zulu, Possum Emerger, 007 Nymph, Sticky Caddis , Mk 2 Wooley Bugger and the Iron Blue Dun are at the top of the heap and go to flies for me.
My favourite type of fly fishing? I love it all but fishing to Caenid smutters at Lake Meadowbank is what I did my apprenticeship on , small creeks and a 2 weight are addictive and I’ve been lucky enough to go on 3 trips to Christmas Island chasing Bones which is very special and a fantastic experience
I'm a mad keen fly fisher, fly tyer and hunter and being in a great club with like minded members just adds to the way of life that I love.

Chris Hilton112 viewsPlease provide brief answers to the following questions:
1. When did you join the club?
March 2018
2. What is your reason for joining, and what do you hope to gain from the club?
I have been travelling to Tasmania from the UK for holidays for many years and have
at times struggled to catch the wonderful wild fish here after being ‘trained’ on UK
rainbows. However each one I caught [ of the few ] has been a treasure so kept me
coming back. Occasionally I met local anglers who were always kind and helped me to
slowly gain more understanding of the fishery. Then I moved here two yrs ago and met
Malcolm Crosse who kindly invited me to attend as a guest and now I am a member ! I
hope to improve my fishing and flytying and enjoy good company of fellow anglers.
3. How long have you been a fly tyer?
on and off for about forty years
4. What are your favourite fly patterns?
damsel fly nymphs
black and peacock spider
Red Tag
5. What is your favourite type of fly fishing?
After the initial shock of seeing the fish running away at my first visit to the Blue Peaks Lakes
when trying standard UK reservoir tactics, I now enjoy spotting, casting to and occasionally
catching wild brown trout. I also enjoy small stream fishing with grasshopper patterns or red
tags.
6. Any thing else you would like to add?
Thanks for allowing me to join
