For those using our fly tying posts for ideas, I’ve started adding search keywords to the posts and have updated our fly index to explain how to use the index and the blog search function. Thanks Lachy for encouraging this change.
Flies are currently labelled with keywords to effectively create categories labelled wetfly, streamerfly, dryfly, emergerfly and nymphfly (have I missed something?). A fly pattern can have multiple keywords.
Amending all the posts is a work in progress 😀
I got an email from a Canberra fishing acquaintance.
I viewed a Webinar back at the beginning of May titled ‘Webinar: the next phase for carp biocontrol’.
Not sure if you have viewed it, but thought I’d pass it on given the ongoing interest from NSWCFA et al re carp control.
Link to site where Webinar is accessible:

I note that identified priority actions include further research work to determine the susceptibility of non target species including Rainbow Trout, along with native species, and species in marine environments.
Cheers

Claude suggested that I might upload a template for Burley Line newsletter. That way people making contributions can send in documents using fonts etc that the newsletter employs. Indeed, maybe there are some budding co-Editors who’d like to have a go at producing a full edition in the event that I’m away.
If you find it too hard, don’t worry. I’m more interested in getting good newsy stories than having them formatted in the standard fashion.

Monaro Acclimatisation Society has recently written to three authorities.
1. NSW Minister Moriarty, seeking advice on what actions, other than trout stocking changes, are being implemented to support the Roundsnouted Galaxia
2. The Federal government Threatened Species Scientific Committee, to learn more about the submissions used to declare the Roundsnouted Galaxia as Endangered.
3. To DPI trout researchers, to explore the impact on trout food chain from water level changes from Tantangara being used for pumped hydro

Readers may be aware that stocking of trout in the Snowy-Monaro has been impacted recently. This has come from the NSW DPI Fisheries’ response to a federal decision to declare the Roundsnouted Galaxia as an endangered species.
MAS was not included in the Federal decision making and has written to the Federal Minister expressing concerns. Her response has been received and it raised further questions.
It is clear this matter, and similar ones raised with the NSW Minister Moriaty are not resolved.
NSWCFA are also entering into this debate.
Rather than publishing all this correspondence here, you can read it on the relevant websites. Note that letters to Ministers etc are embargoed for a time to allow them to respond.

The Sydney Flyrodders have published a flyer including a link to their website for registering to attend, book accommodation, and buy raffle tickets.
You don’t need to be at the Meet to participate in the raffle. Also, if you win first prize and don’t want the fly rod, an alternative can be negotiated.
