Well the backend of the season has been up and down a bit but overall quite rewarding for some. Six beginners took on our March ‘Learn to Fly Fish’ Workshop at Herne, Lachlan, Michael, Trey & Corey, and Bettina and Elisa.

The big catch up …
Well, fellow Red Taggers, firstly, I apologise for the long time between updates on what has been happening here since Christmas, but sometimes life gets in the way, as they say. So then, how have things been? The second half of this season has been quite good in the main with fish being taken in … Continue reading The big catch up …

Kim keeps up the good work
Another top condition rainbow was one of a number to hand at Currawong this early October day. The fish are in top condition with all the run-off after the recent Spring rains.
Ray sets the bar high for October!

Novice success

A well presented unweighted brown nymph proved the tout’s undoing, but not before its charge for … Continue reading Novice success
