2019 World Fly Fishing Championship
If you haven’t been checking out the competition, you wouldn’t be aware of some of the wild weather they’ve been having in Tasmania. Our jet-setting Secretary has reported in:
Snow, hail and 100 km winds – great if you only want to cast in one direction and like surfing down the face of waves on Little Pine Lagoon in a boat !!!
There is a group of volunteers on the highland lakes, another on the lower rivers and another, including me, based here in Launceston. Launceston is having the best weather so I count myself lucky.
To see the reporting check out:

We’re hoping Lyall can provide a short article for the next issue of Burley Line.

Waterbug Blitz – further update
Stop Press, just in from Jaime:
And little bit more info and good news I just got from the Upper Murrumbidge Water Watch:
They will help us to go up to Vanity’s Crossing to get a sample there, which makes this event much more interesting for us because those waters up there are of a real interest for us… so don’t miss it 😉
don’t forget, Jaime is taking us (along with Upper Murrumbidgee Waterwatch) to do some waterbug surveying plus training in identifying them … all going to a measure of the health of our waters, and I believe some of our fish actually eat them.
1000 on Sat 16 Nov at the picnic/playground at the foot of Cotter Dam. More details was emailed to members.
Jaime has also reminded me of the photo competition being run:
Enter your photos of waterbugs and workshop locations for a chance to win an Olympus Tough TG6 camera valued at over $650. Take your photos within the promotion period from 1st September to 16 November 2019. See full details in the following link Waterbug Photo Competition
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.

CAA Events Calendar Change
There has been a change approved by the committee to the program for May 2020. I have corrected our events web page in accordance with Stefan’ advice:
For May 2020, the CFA Interclub is scheduled for 1 -3 May at Wallerawang, (I will be assisting with the event) and we should again try and entice a participant group from CAA; Fly Fish Aus will conduct their competition 9-10 May at Tumut; and
I will organise for 22 -24 May for a CAA club outing to the usual Tumut region.
This will give people a weekend either side to pursue fish in other environs before the close-of-season bash on 8 June (Queens birthday) as well. Plenty of time to fish!
