I started tying in 1968. The fly Tyers� Club has been a great organisation for me to be part of all these years.
Favourite fly patterns: anything using Possum fur.
Favourite type of fly fishing: no preferences just like to have the fly on or in the water.

My reason for joining is to learn to tie patterns and gain knowledge in all aspects of fly tying. Why we tie certain patterns, when to fish them and learn about appropriate materials to use. I think learning about the materials is important as well.
I have probably been tying for a year and a half. I was having a chat to someone who has been fishing for a long time and voicing my concerns about not really understanding the etymology side of things and what flies to use, he quickly suggested tying my own flies and then I will start to understand the etymology side and understand fly tying. And this is how I began to tie. I started tying from watching YouTube clips and got to a point where I thought I need help.
My favourite pattern would have to be a Cicada. Not sure how to make one yet, but love fishing in NZ rivers with them.
I also like Salmon flies, I would love to learn how to make them and love the artistic side to these patterns.
My favourite type of fly fishing would have to be sight fishing in NZ rivers. I have found this really exciting.
I am very excited and feel very honoured in being accepted into The Tas Fly Tyers Club. I am looking forward to learning about tying and heading out on fishing trips.

Reason for joining: I wanted to improve my fly tying skills by learning from other members and to go fly tying and fishing with other people with similar interests. The club having two shacks was also a consideration for joining.
I started fly tying around 1983/84, only about 12 months after I took up fly fishing. I was initially self taught (reading books) but very quickly realised I needed to improved my skills so I undertook one of Dave Tadd's Adult Ed courses.
Favourite patterns: Possum & CDC Emerger, Iron Blue Dun, Hickory Fly (top secret), & any fly that allows me to out fish Westy.
Favourite type of fly fishing: River fishing to sighted fish and dun fishing from the boat.
