Reason for joining: I joined with a view to interacting with members at monthly meetings, going to the shack and spending some time fishing. Sadly, I work 6 days a week and simply can't find the time to achieve my objectives. I started fly fishing at the age of 30 and spent many a day fishing in the Snowy area of NSW, Oberon and in NZ.

Favourite patterns: I don't really have a favourite fly pattern however of the 100 odd fly's I have tied I have received most favourable comments about my dry fly Red Spinner.

Favourite type of fly fishing: I love wading up a stream with a gravel bottom. Not all that happy in a fast flowing stream or river with unexpected deep holes and boulders. The concept of salt water fishing with a fly and rod appeals. I enjoy lake fishing when polaroiding.

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.
