No club event for March – cancelled as Claude was available to lead (and no-one volunteered to take it on?). Instead we have some personal reports – an extensive one from some ‘usual suspects’, one from a regular contributor of other snippets and one from a keen junior member.
We have more from our WhatsApp channels – contact Claude to join up.
As always – some interesting links from Greg S as well as a report on his recent trip to the coast. A fabulous report from Hector on his Canberra Day trip – since catching his first trout on fly at Jindabyne he’s really gotten into the swing of things.
