Fly Tying 27 Nov 2019 – Messy Dun Fly
John tells us:
This month we will be tying a foam mayfly body, similar to the body Muz Wilson used on his Messy Dun fly.
The recipe includes:
- A long needle
- 2mm foam – colour of your choice
- Elk or reindeer hair for the tail
- Thread to match the foam.
In addition you will need to bring scissors or a knife to cut out the foam and your vice to hold the needle.
December 2019 Burley Line (Newsletter Issue 150)
The issue is a little light on for local news. I had to publish early as I’ll be away in the last week of Nov (no, not fishing unfortunately) so our special Christmas edition could be a bumper issue with reports on the BugBlitz from Jaime (conducted last weekend), the Brogo trip led by Stefan this weekend, Jindabyne led by me and maybe some stuff from Claude on a recent trip to the upper Snowy. Fingers crossed.
Meantime, our President has offered up some notes and pictures from his trip across the ditch, and ever-reliable Lyall has submitted an intriguing take on his most recent backcountry trip in NZ. Peter sent in some notes encouraging us to pay more attention to our flylines (guilty as charged mate – that photo could be one of mine)
A Different Take on NZ Trout – Ruakituri River
Lyall has reported here on the Ruakituri River near Gisborne. Food for thought – Peter and I have been thinking about trying the North Island and this is very enticing.
A Different Look at NZ
Our President, Rod, managed some days in NZ recently. Here he reports on a diverse angling trip with some great results
A Season in Profile
Spotted this on the MAS website. Rod Whiteway has penned an excellent piece summarizing the past season on the lower Monaro around the Kybeyan River. Rod is on the MAS executive and expresses his concerns in respect to the effects of the current drought and paucity of insect life.

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.
