At our 24 Aug 2016 session on gurglers Evan placed some emphasis on tying in tails. He has subsequently posted a specific item in his own blog covering “how to tie in tail materials to avoid the dreaded tail wrap”. Much appreciate your tips here mate.
Evan volunteered to host another fantastic fly tying evening for Canberra Anglers’ Association. This month we tied Gurgler flies. The materials list and a few photos are available from the link at bottom. You might need to get to Pratt’s Tackle Box in Belconnen or The Anglers Art in Philip.

Evan has advised that he has uploaded a post to provide extra advice on “how to tie in tail materials to avoid the dreaded tail wrap”. This is really useful stuff and I’ll add it as an individual post too.

Blast – I seem to have deleted the covering post (again?). Anyway, a record crowd turned up to learn about this buggy Welsh fly from our skillful tier Jason Q. Instructions are available by clicking the link below:

I attempted to order a Jungle cock cape from www.troutcatchers.com in England. I then received the following from troutcatchers:
Once again thank you for your order. Just to let you know when purchasing Jungle Cock outside the EU it is legally necessary to obtain a CITES certificate from DEFRA, which we can obtain on your behalf, fees for this service are £79.97
More info www.troutcatchers.co.uk/cites-certificate-c2x17217724
Needless to say I have cancelled the order and will look to local resources as well as rethink my need for Jungle Cock eyes which I was hoping to use to dress Jindy Horrors which have been a successful fly for me when spotting for the large browns which patrol Lake Jindabyne shorelines after spawning runs have finished.
I have sent this just for the information of members who were wanting or thinking of ordering Jungle Cock Capes from overseas.
