Recently received from MAS. The EIS is a huge document but the Society Executive have been able to identify some key issues. The relevant section of the EIS is reproduced along with the MAS response. Quite easy reading.

Jason
The emails have been few and far between in the Editors Inbox, so I can only assume everyone is out living the dream!
This is a great edition; we have more great articles even a special one from around the globe and spectacular pics of the most recent outing- Lyle Knowles on the Cotter River. Thank you for the contributions, I hope you enjoy the content.
Bill
Many thanks to Jason for largely putting this together in my absence. Thanks also from both of us to Greg for his report on Scottish fishing.
CAA Events Calendar Change
There has been a change approved by the committee to the program for May 2020. I have corrected our events web page in accordance with Stefan’ advice:
For May 2020, the CFA Interclub is scheduled for 1 -3 May at Wallerawang, (I will be assisting with the event) and we should again try and entice a participant group from CAA; Fly Fish Aus will conduct their competition 9-10 May at Tumut; and
I will organise for 22 -24 May for a CAA club outing to the usual Tumut region.
This will give people a weekend either side to pursue fish in other environs before the close-of-season bash on 8 June (Queens birthday) as well. Plenty of time to fish!
An Angling Opportunity in Scotland
Our mate Greg currently living in UK has provided an excellent report on a trip into Scotland. A must-read.

October 2019 Burley Line (Newsletter Issue 148)
There was an omission in the original version and JQ has amended the item on casting to recognise the efforts of Nathan.
Bill This edition is a truly combined effort. I’m away at the moment and JQ has stepped in to finish the edition. CAA events have been limited to our annual fly casting lessons for the public. There’s also some items extracted from our News Blog … amazing video of the brown trout spawning run from underwater. So that we don’t totally get withdrawal symptoms, Shaun has provided some instructive notes after his recent sojourn in UK. Some good lessons learnt and now shared.
Jason Thanks for the opportunity to finalise the October edition, the perfect edition right before NSW Trout Opening. ‘Juicy’ is the best word for this edition; it contains lots of great articles and something to interest every angler. I hope you enjoy it, and as always, please consider sending through your fish photos with a sentence or two. Share, share, share! Tight lines and remember to look out for those ‘wriggle’ sticks.. JQ
