DPI are conducting more trials into stocking with larger (20cm) yearlings. This time into the Duckmaloi and Fish Rivers in the Blue Mountains. Read more on their Facebook site. (Membership of Facebook unnecessary).
The word I got that it will close finally at the end of Jun is incorrect, but time remains short. Best get in before they do close. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)
Just dropped in myself today to find quite a bit still on the shelves, including fly tying material and flies. As Lyall remarked earlier “you might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.”
Got this from Antia – urgent RSVP will be required (the notice says 2 day leadtime but that means today 🙄, I hope they will take late bookings).
The session is all about endangered plant species and associated citizen science. Mornos and soup for lunch provided.
I hear the shop will close finally at the end of Jun. Best get in before then. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)
Lyall previously advised:
At The Angler’s Art in Phillip they have put together grab bags of fly tying material at fifty percent off the usual prices and all fly lines at bargain prices. You will regret it if you don’t get these bargains NOW.
You might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.
John led us through this very pretty (and I understand very effective) fly. John tells me he didn’t see any Petitjean gear at Nathan’s new digs, however Troutlore has them in stock. JQ tells me they are worth the expense.

The DPI have an ongoing program of workshops to introduce kids to the sport of angling. They are not free but a modest cost given the goodies they come away with and the experience. You can read about how one of our Juniors had a great day at Gaden Trout Hatchery in the Nov 2018 issue of Burley Line. (Bookings are essential, details in the flyer)
There are saltwater and freshwater focused versions at various locations in our region. Flyers are below.
Nathan has posted a 7 minute video on the shop’s Facebook page, but you should be able to see it without being a Facebook user.

Looks very swish and CAA fly tying may need to lift its game to keep up 😀
CAA member Evan, in his ‘Createafly’ persona, will be giving a demonstration at the shop 6:00PM to 8:00PM.
All the info including images is here but suffice to say:
The flies look interesting. Wet flies suitable for winter Trout fishing
– CLARET MACHINE
– BECK’S BIBIO HOPPER (WET)
– EUCUMBENE MIDGE
– TOM JONES (FUZZLE DUB)
BYO vice to tie along with Evan.
Free sausage sizzle if you get peckish.
What more do you need to tempt you!
The night will be free to attend, however the store insist that you call in advance to book on 6239 1323.
