As I have said Currawong Lakes is a great place for a group of keen learners to have a go with a good chance of getting some nice fish to hand and seeing a bit of action while picking up much of the skills needed to cast a fly.

Good mates, Leigh, Pete, Craig & Mathew from the Hobart area joined together at the end of April, while trout were still taking dry flies.

Although it was a tough day fish to hand wise, light leaders and aggressive fish making it difficult for the learners to hang onto many, it was still a top day for the boys.

Final tally was one to hand, one to the shore, two dropped, five broken off and three misses.

Above, Pete is on to a good one, taken on the emerger and Mathew gets one on the un-weighted nymph to hand, below, which brings a big smile.

While Leigh and Craig are still stalking their targets along these nice reedy shores, below.
