That is what introductory fly fishing workshops should be all about.

Peter had been with us once before and was looking to introduce his wife Deborah along with friends Ian and Lisa to the joys of fly fishing in Tasmania.

Day 1 was at Currawong Lakes then onto a river somewhere.

Peter was delighted, above, with both this beautiful wild brown at the Lakes and the outcome of the adventure.

Here Lisa, above, has her first ever trout to hand, while Ian is enjoying his first up success, below.

And finally, Deborah reels in her wild brown on the river.

New flyfisher Gee inspects the result of only her second, yes that’s right, second ‘on water’ cast with a fly (emerger what else?) while regular ‘tagger Simon is delighted with Gee’s start. It was an excellent well-conditioned wild brown trout.

She then then followed up the next day with this sizeable rainbow and a big smile to match.

November was very busy, with many returning anglers.

Roy was one of them and managed to get a particularly good late spring day along with some nice wild browns to hand.
