Dewey.sbag 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Names Dewey Started tying about 2 months ago, having a blast and starting to tie some realistic looking flys. Joined a group based in Sydney called Bar Flys, meets once a month for a tying sessions at Sydney Guide and Fly Outfitters run by John Marshall. Is alwys a great night and learning heaps from some pretty good tyers. At the moment my favourite tie is an Emerger Caddis along the lines that Davie McPhail ties. Still a bit scrappy but getting better each tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellevue.chartreuse.trout 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Welcome to the forum Dewey! Man, just starting out and tackling Salmon Flies already! Wow, just my belief but, they are tough to tie. As long as you are having fun with it, that's the important thing. Here's wishing you good tying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Saarinen 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2015 Thanx, i'll have to look into it next time i come on a holiday to Australia! I was born in Auburn & lived my first year in Guildford! Grew up in Picton area, don't know how the waters are there now, cos' this was almost twenty years ago when i was there last, but if you drive the Canberra hwy to Wilton exit, head to Picton but when you see the cement works in Maldon turn left, drive to the end & walk down to the old suspention bridge & from there you can get down to the Nepean river, it has bass, up from the bridge is a wier, at the bottom of it after the rain was good! Be carefull in summer, seen a big brown down there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
