Dear {Contact_First_Name},
I am suffering from two things at the moment – firstly a fly-fishing drought (I haven’t cast a fly rod on water since early December) and writer’s block.
I am hoping to resolve the first issue in the next couple of weeks and sneak away for a couple of days to Barrington Tops.
The second I will attempt to do now.
Last year the club agreed to sponsor the Women’s Recreational Fishing League Learn to Fly Fish Enclave. This activity is being conducted in August at Dunmore Trout Waters (between Guyra and Glen Innes), and an email has been sent out to members asking for volunteers to assist participants with casting tuition, still water fishing and fly tying. This will be a great opportunity for select club members to impart their knowledge to some new fly anglers.
You would also have received an email regarding a planned trip to Twizel in December. This is a new trip for us and David Blackwell has spent a lot of time put this together. There is limit of 6 anglers and it is a case of first in – best dressed.
Reports from the recent club trip to Jindabyne is that the fishing is a whole lot better than last year which is always great to hear. What was also great to read on WhatsApp was that Rick Allen-Jordan caught a brownie on the Tabanas that he learnt to tie two days prior at fly tying. Well done Rick!
As always, we have our standard monthly activities coming up – casting practice, fly tying and our club meeting. I look forward to seeing you at one of these in the coming month.
Tight lines

Fellow Flyrodders,
I've hardly cast a fly this year but I am fortunate enough to have an upcoming trip to New Zealand’s North Island.
My companions are all members of this club and this will be our second outing to the Land of the Long White Cloud. I met most of the crew during club trips when I was a newbie. I think this is a path often travelled and a key benefit of club membership – meeting people at events, forming friendships and fishing together from that point on. Whether that’s on ‘official’ club trips, outings organised separately, or a combination of both which is most often the case.
None of this would have happened for me if I hadn’t attended those early events. I wouldn’t have discovered other fly fishing enthusiasts with similar angling capabilities and travel budgets, many of whom living within a 10 minute drive of my place.
The truth is I was undecided about attending those early events because they were a foreign concept to me. I enjoy fishing for the solitude and I wasn’t sure what it would be like with a large group. Would it be cliquey? Would I be frowned upon because I didn't own a tweed coat? Judged because I didn't know the difference between a nymph and an emerger?
Far from it. Unified by a shared passion, I felt welcome from the start and learned a lot from more experienced anglers, who are always willing to spend time with beginners.
So I encourage all members, particularly those new to our club, to have a look at the upcoming fishing trips on our website and consider putting yourself down for one. I appreciate those of you still young enough to have jobs and children at school will be time poor. Week-long trips aren’t for everyone, which is why the club also offers weekend outings and Sunday Social Days.
There’s something there for everyone at every stage of their fishing journey.
Cheers

Trip Report: Drift boat down the Tumut with Haul Fishing Australia |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, when your luck is in, make the most of it. Winning the Club’s Xmas raffle of a day drift boating down the Tumut River, was the first bit of good luck. When the day you have picked has a soft breeze, sunny skies and a water flow in the medium range, can it get any better.
The answer is yes! Browns in the 4lb+ range, with one that may have stretched to 5lb. Mixed with feisty Rainbows that were consistently around the 2lb mark, makes for a day that any fly fisher would dream about.
The quality and condition of the fish in the Tumut River really surprised us. However, they never gave themselves up to bad casts or the slightest sign of drag. The drift boat is a constantly moving platform. The flow rate on the day we were fishing was around 3000ML/d. It can get as high as 8000ML/d
In the majority of cases, the Browns were consistently found within a 100 to 300mm from the shore and the Rainbows on the edges of seams, up to a metre and a half from the bank. Water and aerial mends as well as reach casts, were a vital part of every cast. The right drift could be as short as a metre or as long as 10 metres. Casts had to be manufactured to suit the drift of the boat and the many cross currents.
Get it right and the reward could be a beautifully conditioned fish. However, many “deserving” drifts (by my reckoning) got no reply. We cast foam hoppers all day as they gave both visibility and buoyancy in the faster water.
It will come as no surprise to anyone reading this article, that Brian Henderson, my fishing companion on the day, caught the most and the biggest. Did I mention that good casting was important???
Of course, no fishing article would be complete without a, one that got away, component
A Brown that we estimated to be in the range of 7lb took my hopper about 100mm from a rocky shore. It went deep and then launched itself into the air, at which stage my 5x leader and it parted company. The guides soothing words of, “that’s the biggest fish I have ever seen in my years of fishing the Tumut” did little to ease my pain. The therapist assures me that the nightmares should subside over the coming weeks ☹
Our guide Sam Read, made our day with local knowledge and hard rowing that put us in great positions where both of us had a chance of catching fish. This resulted in us getting two double hookups during the course of the day. 10 out of 10 Sam, many thanks.
Thanks also to Angus from Haul Fly Fishing Australia for running such a professional operation and making the Tumut River such an accessible river for fly fishing.

Trip Report: Yarra Ranges and Baw Baw National Park |

Warwick Reader on the Toorongo River |
|
|
Yes, I’m a Potamophile.
My principal reason for fly fishing is that I am captivated by the beauty, geography, ecology and the dynamic nature of rivers and streams and the surrounding landscapes. I guess that makes me a “potamophile” – yep self-confessed. Also important, is testing myself against the guile of the trout. But I don’t measure the success of my trips on the number or size of the fish I catch. I just love exploring new rivers and creeks.
In mid-February, I went to Victoria to catch up with Warwick Reader (the Fly Rodders Melbourne-based member). We planned on exploring some of the remote creeks and rivers of the Yarra Ranges and Baw Baw National Parks over 5 days. It was a new area for both us and we held fond hopes of finding some gems. Spoiler Alert – we definitely did.
I had a couple of days before catching up with Warwick and so I decided to explore the King River Valley as a potential trout habitat (a couple of valleys east of the Buckland and Ovens River Valleys). The King and Ovens Rivers eventually merge around Wangaratta, before emptying into the Murray around Yarrawonga, well east of Albury. The plan was then to head over to Taggerty, via Mansfield, and camp beside the upper Little River and spend an afternoon exploring a section below Ned’s Gully campground. Many members will be familiar with the area from Club trips to Alexandra. Despite having fished this area many times I had never fished this section of the Little. Ahhh – new water!! This put me within an easy drive to meet Warwick in Warburton on the Upper Yarra the next day.
In the King River valley, I based myself in Whitfield (has a great pub) and had an afternoon and morning only, to explore. The King River around Whitfield is a tail water below the William Hovell Dam. I had mixed intel on the potential trout habitat below the dam, but I was informed that the King River above William Hovell was potentially a better trout habitat. I didn’t have high expectations.
So, I fished firstly around Cheshunt on a hot afternoon (water temp 18 deg C) and then the next morning fished above the dam (water temp 20 deg C) on the Upper King River track and eventually on the Top Crossing track as far as Sandy Flat campground. The King River below the dam was some nice-looking water, albeit flowing through farmland. Above the dam was incredibly beautiful water, in a State forest and felt really remote. Short story – no fish were seen at either side of the dam. Nonetheless, I felt refreshed and that made the King River exploration worth it. |

By mid-afternoon, I was on the Little river. I started at the river crossing on the Little River Road and waded and fished the section up to Ned’s campground, about 2km. This section is stunning twig water, and the occasional fallen tree made the adventure more interesting, and one had to be judicious about challenging the overhanging structure with a bold cast. As with all twig water the key is line management on either end of the rod. The good news was that 3 small browns and a small rainbow found their way into my net. A couple more outsmarted me and I made a couple of fly donations to the trees. |

Camping that night at Ned’s would have been great, except for the 10 yobbos, 100m away playing loud music, yelling and working on serious hangovers, until 3:30am. I did politely ask them to tone it down around mid-night but my efforts were rebuffed (not politely). The next morning when I left at 6:30am, I politely sat on the car horn for about 2 minutes before heading for Warburton. I’m not really a vindictive person, so don’t judge me too harshly.
If you haven’t driven the Acheron Way between Narbethong and Warburton, do yourself a favour. It is a well-maintained dirt road which winds its way over the Yarra Ranges and follows the Acheron River to its headwaters. The photos below will give you a taste of the incredible landscape. |

So, I finally met up with Warwick, and after some hearty fare from the Warburton bakery (his Lordship would have been impressed), we decided on an easy afternoon on the Upper Yarra above east Warburton. Warwick knew some spots based on previous trips. The river levels provided for some challenging wading, but we both put a brown trout in the net after fishing small pockets on a generally flat wider river. Unfortunately, it appeared that the authorities were releasing water from the Yarra reservoir that day and eventually that pushed us out of the river. Just to let you know that the upside-down flow reputation of the Yarra is alive and well even this high up.
We were excited about the next two days as we were meeting up with Shane Wakker from Baw Baw Fly Fisher. Shane has lived in the area around Noojee all his life and has an intimate knowledge of the rivers and creeks. Day 1 we spent 1.5 hours driving into the upper Toorongo river for a morning session. After being greeted by two juvenile tiger snakes, (we were wondering where mum was) we precariously bush bashed down to the river and found almost pre-historic twig water with pools below countless cascades. The very first mini cast of my 7’6” 3wt with a dry on 6X attracted the first of what was to be many small browns. Remember what I said about line management? No room for the classic distance dry fly cast – but accuracy was important as was good roll casting technique. We waded for 3 hours up this section and between us we landed 8 small browns (20-30cm), mostly on dry fly, and missed another 8. When I say missed, the critters swiped at the fly or we hooked the fish and then lost it. The bash out of the river was toughish, but we were euphoric walking back to the car. It must be one of the most stunning environments I have ever fished in. Water temp was 15 deg C. These photos don’t do it justice. |

Our afternoon session took us to Mundic creek. It seemed like an interminable drive down a very narrow 4WD track (not sure I would take my car there) and then a short walk to another unbelievable but even smaller creek. Warwick was quick to land one of the prettiest golden yellow-coloured browns, about the size of his hand. A couple of more fish for each of us (and the inevitable misses) as we weaved and dodged our way through the “jungle” of this creek. Plenty of archery practice. But we didn’t mind as the environment was equally beautiful and so remote. We got back to Noojee just on dark but elated. Bring on tomorrow. Shane had promised more unbelievable environments.
|
|
|
|
|
We met Shane at his place in Hill End, and we drove for 2.5 hours through a myriad of dirt track before arriving at the upper Thomson river, way deep in the Baw Baw National Park. The drive was worth it, and we spent the next 4 hours wading a magnificent small twig stream with not even a chance of meeting any other anglers. I got the impression that not many would make the effort to get into this area, it was so remote. We added another 8 small browns and again dropped as many, before an easy walk back to the car via an access track which followed the river. |
|
|

|
It was after 3:30pm when we left the Thomson, but Shane wanted us to fish Icy creek (another twig stream) on the way home. Warwick caught a good-sized brown as the sun set. Again, a magnificent setting. It was a long day but well worth it. |
|
|
|
|
Warwick and I returned to the lower Tooronga, near Noojee, on our own the next day. This area was more frequented by anglers and so our fish tally was less than the previous days, but it is good to know that such beautiful creeks and streams can be found within 2 hours of Melbourne - if you are prepared to get out of the car and wade. If you want to experience this type of fishing, contact Shane at Baw Baw Fly Fisher. He was a super nice guy, very knowledgeable and keen to give his clients a different experience.
In total, I spent 6 days on the water during this trip to Victoria, on rivers that I had never fished before, caught plenty of fish, missed more and spooked even more. I was a very, very happy “potamophile”, exhausted but happy.
I broke my trip home up by stopping in Gundagai. I had a couple of hours to spare before dark, so I went to the spot where the Nimbo rejoins the Tumut. I saw a couple of browns cruising the edges, but I couldn’t entice them and my efforts at swinging a streamer in a fast-moving Tumut proved just as productive. After so much fishing over the last week, it really was only a half-hearted effort. It did remind me however that I want to drift the Tumut below Blowering. That will have to wait until another day and another leave pass. |

Trip Report: Fishing New Zealand's South Island |
By Nick Careless
On a recent family trip to South Island, my son Matthew and
I fitted in a few days fishing. First on the Mataura River, with guide Chris
Dore. |
|
|
From the outset Chris and Matthew had two skills up on me –
first their knees worked and second they could actually see the fish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drifts through the riffles |
A good guide’s uncanny ability to spot fish and see them eat
the fly combines with meticulous attention to flies and knots, changing the
flies and tactics frequently. |
|
|
|
|
The Matuara browns we caught were on droppers like this nymph
and worm pattern suspended under a buoyant dry. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Later in the trip we had the opportunity to fish the high
country, close to Mt Potts in stunning country without another human
around. |
|
|
The water again was crystal clear, but this time the rivers
were narrow and deep, with fish holding close to the undercut banks. With light tippets it was a case of needing to chase the
hooked fish up and down the river whilst steering them away from undercut
roots. |
|
|
At Wanaka, we had a chance to fish the rivers entering and
exiting the main lake. |
|
|
Success was had when applying some of the bass fishing tips
given in Peachy’s YouTube videos. Casting a big cicada pattern up tight to the
bank under the cover of trees, leaving it for a few seconds, then giving it a
short twitch or two. |
|
|
One tip I came away with was the NZ indicators. Our guide wasn’t a fan of the small rubber tube indicator rigs I had on me – instead he used orthodontic rubber rings, with a loop of the leader wrapped 8 times through the ring before pulling it tight on a good wad of sheep’s wool. That had the buoyancy needed to float a heavy double tungsten bead nymph. |
|

Next Monthly Club Meeting |
The Monthly Meeting will be held at our regular venue, The Freeway Hotel, commencing at 7:00pm on Monday 9 March. Members will arrive from around 6pm so feel free to come early and enjoy a drink and some dinner with fellow members. We have a very special event organised for this meeting. Mark Bransgrove, a Life Member of the Sydney Fly Rodders, passed away late last year; and left behind a considerable collection of fishing gear; mostly fly fishing equipment but also some spin and bait fishing gear.
Mark’s wife Liz has gone through all of Mark’s gear and most of which will be available for sale at the meeting.
Just to wet your appetite, here is a snippet of some of the gear that will be available for sale:
- Orvis and Umpqua chest packs;
- Snowbee, Streamside and Australian Adventure (new) vest;
- Uniden walkie talkie and GME EPIRB;
- Waders, boots;
- McLean Net (new);
- Reels:
- Nautilus XM Miami with fly line
- Orvis Battenkill 10#
- Danielsson L5W-69 (new with line in pouch)
- Galvin Torque 12# in pouch and box (new never used);
- Mitchell, Vision 3-4 Kalu plus line, Okuma, Shimano Speed master and others;
- Many books;
- Scott 6# 9’ 6#4 piece in very good condition;
- Primal Mega 9’ 12# (never been used);
- EPIC hand made 13’ 6 piece Double Hander (never used):
- CTS home made 9’ 5# 4 piece;
- Strudwick, Drift, Innovator Velocity, Sage, Orvis, Maxia and others;
- Water Strider, NZ Float boat (only used about 6 Times);
- Plus much more.
The items are all marked with suggested asking prices, but Liz just wants a fair price so that Mark’s friends and members can enjoy his gear and to put them to good use, which would have made Mark very proud to see the gear being put to work, especially those he made himself.
So come to the meeting, bring some cash, there is no EFT payment facility; so other direct bank deposits can be arranged for the bigger ticket items. There is an ATM machine in the building.
See you there to pick up some great fishing gear for a good price. So come along and enjoy another great night out with fellow members. |

Casting Practice Report
|

Prospecting suburban waterways |
By David Caddies
Twenty one starters and most finished the day after some dedicated practice at Bronze and Silver level casting skills. Nobody mentioned that it rained lightly the whole session, such was the concentration. But all raincoats were thoroughly wet, I can tell you. George, who is quite tough, didn’t feel the rain but did get thoroughly wet. He also enjoys fishing at TCD, which tells you something.
There were some fairly new casters among the assembly, who elected to stick with basic stroke exercises, ably overseen by Gavin and George. Most of the others rose to the task of stepping up to do the first 3 casts in the Bronze or, if they had already completed Bronze, the first 3 in the Silver.
If you can characterize the Bronze level as a ladder with 7 rungs with each rung representing a single cast, the Silver could be described as the same 7 rungs, but with longer distances required and 2 separate skills on each rung. In other words, more complexity.
I saw most members being very focused in their practice, which does lead to effective practice. From my perspective, if the goal of the practice is clear, it makes it easy for self-assessment to drive improvement. It goes beyond saying “I’m practising my accuracy” and becomes, for example, “I’m practising going from target 1 to target 2 15’ further away, doing a pick up and lay down from a distance I don’t usually practise and having to slip line and shoot line to get there”. Such a lot to master, but that’s the kind of complexity we expect of ourselves on the water. The method, of course, is to separate each skill out and get it right, then build it into the next one. That would be the whole mission of the skills development program you could say. If you have a roadmap for your practice, each step takes on more meaning and you can see its relationship to where you need to be. That beats going to the park and not knowing what to practice.
I dropped in on the Go for Silver group last week and was really impressed by the way the half-dozen members were flogging themselves onward in the awful humidity. And enjoying it all. I often say if you are not motivated to practice a skill, just rely on discipline. Ie if it comes time to practice, just do it – don’t wait till enthusiasm strikes you, because it probably won’t. Rely on discipline and motivation will come once you get some runs on the board. The Tuesday group had it all. Well done those members, to be finding success in a difficult skills level, well beyond the average caster. More challenges ahead if you make it!
There was a great group spirit to be seen, promoted by George’s special dedication to developing in those members a desire for excellence in technique, not just tick the boxes. Speaking of attitude, two members told me last casting day that they did all the Bronze casts successfully, but don’t want to receive a confirmation certificate until they do each task, in order, in one go. Ie no second or third attempts wanted – just nail it the first cast, thanks. Seven tasks: seven casts. I really hope they do just that and I know they’ll have fun working on it.
See you in the park

Club Monthly Casting Practice - Details and Event Schedule. |
|
|
SFRC MONTHLY CASTING PRACTICE 9am Sunday 8 March 2025
Reminder: Leave your 9 – 10’ trout leader with the 5X tippet at home. Bring one which is 8’ – 8’6” and terminating in 8 or 10 lb tippet. This session will suit DT or WF floating lines, for the single-handers. Two-handers, bring what you got.
Start time is 9am:
HOWEVER: If you wish to have a go at being evaluated for any one or more of the casts in the Bronze Skills Development Program and you would like to come earlier than 9, send me a text message to that effect on 0434 671 085 and I’ll be there to set it up, from 8am. Coaching and demonstrations will be going on after 9, but with not much opportunity for individual evaluations. Early notice would be appreciated, but don’t let that stop you from a late practice on Saturday to see if you’re ready!
All members are welcome to join in the club’s usual monthly practice session. If you want to know everything about the club’s casting practice sessions, read the whole blurb in the Flyrodder magazine.
WHERE: Timbrell Park, Henley Marine Drive, Five Dock. Go to the western end of Henley Marine Drive, past the cricket pitches, baseball nets and just past LIvvi’s coffee kiosk and kids’ playground area. There is an open area opposite where Ingham Avenue intersects with Henley Marine Drive which we usually use. It is not part of the sports fields. If conditions there are not suitable on the day, we will be just opposite, across the canal, or anywhere within sight that I can find.
So come and give it a try, as there is so much to be gained by attending these sessions. And they are Free!!!
If you can’t make it this time and want some good practical instruction to guide you, check out this site: https://www.flyfishersinternational.org/Learn/Learning-Center-Resources/Fly-Casting/Casting-Instruction
I don’t know if that link works for you. Google FFI flyfishing and delve around. Most stuff is open to non-members.

Last month, Dave Wilson showed members how to tie the Tabanas fly, which is a Parachute Caddis pattern ideal for summer conditions that may also be taken as a hopper. It is of European origin and popularised in Australia by international competition anglers. A “go-to” pattern of Tom Jarman.

The skill set required to tie a Chernobyl Ant is identical to that of the Fat Albert. However, in the case of the Chernobyl Ant, it is performed twice. As practice makes perfect (with feedback) on any skill, we will therefore be tying a Chernobyl Ant. While there are still hoppers around, the Chernobyl makes a great imitation and can also be used as a floater to hold up any sub surface flies.
So come along to learn these skills at the next fly tying night on 16 March 2026 at 6:30 PM at the Freeway Hotel. |

Sydney Fly Rodders Facebook Pages |
We run two SFRC pages, one is our public page and it posts events and activities of the club. It also shares posts from other pages like CAS, DPI on things relevant to the places and areas that we fish.
I post some fly tying every now and then and share links to events I find that might be of interest to followers. This page is a little like our Web page, it showcases the club to attract members and provides details of club events. At last count it has more than one thousand followers.
We added another page. This is reserved for members only and cannot be seen by anyone outside of the group. You will need to send a request to join. Any member can post on this page and it is a great opportunity for members to put up a post or two about anything fly fishing. I would like to encourage members to use this page to post fishing reports or photos of flies that you tied. Being connected to other members you can ask for some casting or gear advice, or organise a short trip when you suddenly have some spare time.
There are also hundreds of other groups; bream on fly, carp on fly, bass, trout....areas like alpine trout, Sydney Kayak Fishing....fly tying groups, buy sell swap fly gear pages and individuals like Aussie Flyfisher, Sydney Flyfishing to check out.

Sydney Fly Rodders WhatsApp Group |
We have an Exclusive Group on WhatsApp for our Members, which is a great way to communicate informally and to share ideas, seek advice and also to plan and seek interest for impromptu/planned fishing trips.
I can highly recommend this to members. We have arranged a number of trips now from a weekends bass fishing through to a casual and social Sunday morning or afternoons fishing at Narrabeen Lake or Hen & Chickens Bay etc. And there could even be a BBQ thrown in for a social get together afterwards. This will happen on most if not all occasions.
Should you wish to be included in this group, then please email me to request your inclusion, quoting your mobile number which is required to link you into the Group. You will need to download the WhatsApp first if you haven't already done so.
