Reasons for joining: I was new to Tassie and wanted to get stuck into fly fishing here; learn from members (where to go, flies to use, techniques to use); use of a shack; hang around people with similar interests and like-minded people. I have been tying flies for around 12 years but seriously (if I can say that) since joining the club.

Favourite fly patterns: Wet: black long tail matuka, devil leech, olive seals fur body with gold ribbing and a very long black feather tail (not sure what to call this one). Dry: big black muddler, blue blow fly, small zulu, red tag, grass hopper.

Favourite type of fly fishing: first - sight fishing in the west (LOVE IT), second - sight fishing particularly great lake and old days on Tooms.
I'm keen on giving competition fly fishing a go very soon & just need a friendly hand to show the way.

How long have you been a fly tyer? I started tying flies when I was about 18 - nearly 50 years ago.
My interest is mainly in dry flies. Over time I have become more interested in size 14 - 18 emerger type dries. The buggier the better.......
I grew up in Canada so I have always preferred smaller rivers with lightweight gear.
I try to combine fishing with bush walking. We have done a number of trips to various parts of the Central Plateau fishing in the small tarns and river links as well as some of the slightly larger highland lakes. As an architect I have done quite a lot of conservation work on the various high country huts. The field work usually required carrying a small rod just in case......
