Fascinating read has just come in. For those who have been asking about Tiger Trout there is some info.

In these days of ChatGPT and ever more powerful search engines, ‘Useful Links’ pages have become a bit passe but good practice still behoves us to keep ours up to date.

I saw someone had followed the link to a NSW Government link, but when investigated I found the link was broken. This has prompted me to reconfirm and fix all the links.

Our ‘Useful Links’ page could do with an entire revamp, but I’ll leave it to another day. Meantime, if you identify something that would be an ongoing resource to members, please send them to the Burley Line address on our home page.

Available here. Key points:

• RFA’s meeting with Minister Moriarty
• NSW Trout Strategy – some notes from a brief on the current draft
• 2023 Winburndale Trout Muster – relocate several hundred brown and rainbow rrout from the Winburndale Dam and the stream above, to the Mill Pond at Portland

BJ has confirmation that we are booked in at Bondi Forest Lodge 4-6 Aug. He has a placeholder for 10 people but could go higher if greater interest arises.

Check out  http://www.bondiforestlodge.com.au/contactus.html
Single and double rooms avail, depending on numbers. Full facility kitchen and fridges. Fireplace and stocked pond. Two person boat will be available for rotational use

We are hoping to run the 120 minute challenge (tie a fly with supplied material then go catch a fish).

Contact BJ …. details will come in email from Lyall
