Chris Hilton123 viewsPlease provide brief answers to the following questions:
1. When did you join the club?
March 2018
2. What is your reason for joining, and what do you hope to gain from the club?
I have been travelling to Tasmania from the UK for holidays for many years and have
at times struggled to catch the wonderful wild fish here after being ‘trained’ on UK
rainbows. However each one I caught [ of the few ] has been a treasure so kept me
coming back. Occasionally I met local anglers who were always kind and helped me to
slowly gain more understanding of the fishery. Then I moved here two yrs ago and met
Malcolm Crosse who kindly invited me to attend as a guest and now I am a member ! I
hope to improve my fishing and flytying and enjoy good company of fellow anglers.
3. How long have you been a fly tyer?
on and off for about forty years
4. What are your favourite fly patterns?
damsel fly nymphs
black and peacock spider
Red Tag
5. What is your favourite type of fly fishing?
After the initial shock of seeing the fish running away at my first visit to the Blue Peaks Lakes
when trying standard UK reservoir tactics, I now enjoy spotting, casting to and occasionally
catching wild brown trout. I also enjoy small stream fishing with grasshopper patterns or red
tags.
6. Any thing else you would like to add?
Thanks for allowing me to join
