Dave Pamenter 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 Well firstly I got my Tubeology supplies in yesterday and started playing around with tube fly's, first was a shrimp patterm. Secondly, I popped down to the only tackle store in the area that stocks fly gear to start the process of choosing my new rod / reel and I found some polar fibre so started playing around with a baitfish pattern I remembered seeing on Youtube (not finished yet, need to get some 3D eyes and CCG) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just watching the budget all day over here and all about the fisheries act, there are some very good speakers from out east! http://fishermansroad.blogspot.ca/ yeah! Thank FFJ, unfortunately the government is not going to listen to scientist or actual fisherfolks who would really know what is going on in the fisheries. They are just like every government ever put into power, they listen to the ones who will KEEP them in power...basically a, "Money talks and you regular citizens can go to hell" attitude. I love both my home country and my adopted one, but neither are governed "for the people"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 I am finding it pretty interesting what is going on, even tho i have only been a permanent resident for a few years now.... Anyway i call this one 'tennis' probably once again needs more hackle and less dubbing looped fox. Swims nicely and i will probably be able to see it for quite a distance.
