A good watch on YouTube from Starlo's Fishotopia. Might even peak some interest from members to look at guided raft fishing trip with Tom's Outdoors in Tumut

My latest video featuring a fly-on-the-wall (pun intended!) look at a day spent drifting the Tumut River to fish for trout with good mate Garry McDonald and the fine folks from Tom's Outdoors is now available on my channel. Worth a look... You'll find the link in the comments below. Enjoy!

Hi members and guests,

Don’t forget this months meeting this coming Tuesday 7th May. Same time and place as usual, 7:30pm start in the upstairs auditorium at Collegians Wollongong. Come along for a meet and greet along with what I’m sure will be an array of fishing reports over the last month.

As per the suggestion of club President Neil Nelson, the club will also be showing the film: "Emerald Paradise - Fly Fishing in the Soca Valley" which details "the story of Slovenia's Soca River and the valley it runs through, the tremendous efforts to bring a rare fish species back from the brink of extinction and the pivotal role played by researchers, biologists and fly fishing enthusiasts in the conservation of this natural habitat and the economic development of the entire region".

Also remember that the fly of the month is the ‘Game Changer’. Developed by Blane Chocklett, the ‘Game Changer’ has revolutionised fly fishing by exciting fish through it’s incredible movement through the water. It is an excellent streamer and baitfish imitation that can be used for a variety of saltwatwr pelagics and freshwater species too! A link to the YouTube tutorial by Erich Gross is below for those wanting to give it a crack.
