Fly Tying 24 Feb 2021 – F Fly
Claude will be leading.
Recipe:
Hook: Hanak 130BL #14-20
Thread: 8/0-16/0 Black
Tail: Nothing or Pearl Crystal Flash
Body: CDC or Possum Fur or any other fine dubbing you have
Wing: 4-6 CDC feathers
Details:
The F Fly is one of the simplest and deadliest fly patterns. It is a Great all round Trout fly pattern. Tied in a range of sizes and colours it imitates a range of insects the CDC wing silhouette can be used to represent many caddis, olives and midge species.
The F fly is very effective in both rivers and still waters.
Ginninderry and Bidgee Access
From BJ:
This is a couple of years old but I ran into a “ranger” when I walked down from Shephards Lookout entrance with rod in hand a few weeks ago.
They are restricting access while reforming the land use, but informally tolerating fisherman. However land use negotiations with Corkhills next door mean that the fence lines might become harder than they were on the north side of the river.
They’ll be building a water “park” access for the Gininderry residents.

Lightweight Raft
Jason reports on his experience with a lightweight raft. Apologies, I should have uploaded before Feb Newsletter
February 2021 Burley Line (Newsletter Issue 164)
Apologies, I should have uploaded into our ‘Gear‘ blog the report by Jason on his experience with a lightweight raft before first uploading Feb Newsletter. It is there now.
Seen at Tilba Tilba:
“If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles” More quotes from Doug Larson here.
The shift from December to January for our Jindabyne trip proved very successful. A huge report is enclosed. Also reported is Claude and BJ’s efforts in the Carp Capers – many thanks guys for the words and photos. Jason M has excelled again with two articles – his side trip after our Coastal Outing off shore to Montague Island, plus a quick review of his latest lightweight ‘canoe’ … looks more like a swimming ring to me 🙂
Loch Style Fishing
In preparation for those who might be loch style fishing (especially at our Jindy trip), Shaun has put this pointer up on our Facebook page. A talk by Tom Jarman.

Did you see this one?

” Alpine river guide Richard Swain showed Ms Ley through the landscape he grew up on
…
“Destruction is across the entire ecosystem,” Mr Swain, a Wiradjuri man, told AAP.
…
The horses also trampled sediment into creeks, which affected fish breeding, Mr Swain said.”
I wonder how real is this funding and will it be actually actioned given the KNP is a NSW state asset.
Petition to see KNP Feral Horse Management Plan Released
Unfortunately only open to NSW residents.
If you follow the link below you will find a petition regarding the release of a feral horse management plan for Kosciuszko National Park. Could you please fill it in and send the link to all your networks and encourage them to fill it in as well.
I understand KNP is currently managing under a decade old plan. Much work has been undertaken to develop a new plan but there has been a lack of transparency.
