Nathan gave a great talk at our Oct 2020 meeting about fishing the Eucumbene River (check out the notes in the Nov 2020 Burley Line. His tactics and recommended flies can be used anywhere in our region.

We tied one of Nathan’s favourite flies ->  the ‘Droz nymph’ led by Claude. His report follows:

A small group joined me in the tie of Nathan’s favourite ‘Droz Nymph’. We had a good old natter along the way, particularly passing on what knowledge the team had to Ken (one of our new members)….and I also refamiliarized his knowledge on the names of all the fly tying tools…it’s been a while. Thanks Alan, Peter and Lyall for your assistance! The fun part of the evening was discussing dubbing loops, thread splitting and dubbing wax 😊
