Jason was recently looking to book a hut and found a substantial discount is available for anglers. I’m not sure how many huts this applies to.

There was quite a quick response to the post about Peachy’s YouTube piece on dry fly selection.

I wonder if our readers are aware of CAA’s Tips blog. Originally this held a yarn by Jason Q about his fly fishing journey, to inspire others to get into the sport. The blog evolved to include a diverse range of topics from the laws of angler access to tips on handling fish and how best to take a photo. I encourage you to browse.

I just added two new ones, on straightening your leader and one on different strike techniques. I’ll promote them in the forthcoming newsletter for those that read it but don’t follow our blog.

A while ago I had a series of tips from members in the newsletter … I should assemble them and add to the blog – a closed season project? 😀

A report on the workshop held 6 May has been prepared: https://us5.forward-to-friend.com/forward/preview?u=aaffdffaded2e86f449aa94b9&id=65b6365cbb

The intent now is to commence consultation with anglers in the regions before providing a considered position to the Minister.

Mitch from Gaden has released this report.

Weather and cormorants have impacted the operation and stocks produced. The open day and the NSWCFA are reported.
