If you didn’t get there before now to catch a bargain, sorry you’ve missed the boat. Anglers Art is now officially closed.
CAA has had a long relationship with the late Dr Bryan Pratt not least due to his being a long term President and CAA Life Member but also the shop’s support to the club. We will miss their connection to CAA.
We wish Doris well for the future.
DPI are conducting more trials into stocking with larger (20cm) yearlings. This time into the Duckmaloi and Fish Rivers in the Blue Mountains. Read more on their Facebook site. (Membership of Facebook unnecessary).
The word I got that it will close finally at the end of Jun is incorrect, but time remains short. Best get in before they do close. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)
Just dropped in myself today to find quite a bit still on the shelves, including fly tying material and flies. As Lyall remarked earlier “you might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.”
Got this from Antia – urgent RSVP will be required (the notice says 2 day leadtime but that means today 🙄, I hope they will take late bookings).
The session is all about endangered plant species and associated citizen science. Mornos and soup for lunch provided.
I hear the shop will close finally at the end of Jun. Best get in before then. (A selection of the specials are appearing on their Facebook page – you don’t need to be on Facebook to read it)
Lyall previously advised:
At The Angler’s Art in Phillip they have put together grab bags of fly tying material at fifty percent off the usual prices and all fly lines at bargain prices. You will regret it if you don’t get these bargains NOW.
You might like to pop in for a bargain or see it as supporting Doris.
Nathan has posted a 7 minute video on the shop’s Facebook page, but you should be able to see it without being a Facebook user.

Looks very swish and CAA fly tying may need to lift its game to keep up 😀
CAA member Evan, in his ‘Createafly’ persona, will be giving a demonstration at the shop 6:00PM to 8:00PM.
All the info including images is here but suffice to say:
The flies look interesting. Wet flies suitable for winter Trout fishing
– CLARET MACHINE
– BECK’S BIBIO HOPPER (WET)
– EUCUMBENE MIDGE
– TOM JONES (FUZZLE DUB)
BYO vice to tie along with Evan.
Free sausage sizzle if you get peckish.
What more do you need to tempt you!
The night will be free to attend, however the store insist that you call in advance to book on 6239 1323.

Have your say here. Closing date 9 Jul.
This just in from Antia of UMDR (for those not bragging the CAA June Chill event):
(Key update – more fly related stock has arrived from Hardy and …. my memory fails me but another well known brand 🤔 Airflo?)
Nathan is back in town and has been recruited as the fulltime manager of the new Compleat Angler Canberra. It is in the previous WetSpot shop at 16 Wollongong St, Fyshwick (their sign will be replaced by a Compleat Angler soon). The shop is also selling Hobie kayaks etc and offering servicing for kayak owners.
One thing has changed. The shop will be supporting CAA for raffles etc, but individual discounts via club membership won’t be offered. Instead individuals will be getting bonus credits with each purchase through an individual loyalty plan. Nathan can explain fully when you drop in. The credit amount depends on what you buy but my recent experience was that mine was around 10%.
