My reason for joining is to learn to tie patterns and gain knowledge in all aspects of fly tying. Why we tie certain patterns, when to fish them and learn about appropriate materials to use. I think learning about the materials is important as well.
I have probably been tying for a year and a half. I was having a chat to someone who has been fishing for a long time and voicing my concerns about not really understanding the etymology side of things and what flies to use, he quickly suggested tying my own flies and then I will start to understand the etymology side and understand fly tying. And this is how I began to tie. I started tying from watching YouTube clips and got to a point where I thought I need help.
My favourite pattern would have to be a Cicada. Not sure how to make one yet, but love fishing in NZ rivers with them.
I also like Salmon flies, I would love to learn how to make them and love the artistic side to these patterns.
My favourite type of fly fishing would have to be sight fishing in NZ rivers. I have found this really exciting.
I am very excited and feel very honoured in being accepted into The Tas Fly Tyers Club. I am looking forward to learning about tying and heading out on fishing trips.

Reasons for joining: I was new to Tassie and wanted to get stuck into fly fishing here; learn from members (where to go, flies to use, techniques to use); use of a shack; hang around people with similar interests and like-minded people. I have been tying flies for around 12 years but seriously (if I can say that) since joining the club.
Favourite fly patterns: Wet: black long tail matuka, devil leech, olive seals fur body with gold ribbing and a very long black feather tail (not sure what to call this one). Dry: big black muddler, blue blow fly, small zulu, red tag, grass hopper.
Favourite type of fly fishing: first - sight fishing in the west (LOVE IT), second - sight fishing particularly great lake and old days on Tooms.
I'm keen on giving competition fly fishing a go very soon & just need a friendly hand to show the way.
