The Burley Line, the monthly CAA newsletter

February 2017 Burley Line (Newsletter Issue 118)

They said there wouldn’t be enough to publish, but they were mistaken!  Lyall’s call for articles resulted in a number of budding journalists submitting reports, a lot of our folk record firsts in their fishing career plus some sneak previews of what members heading up for our Khancoban trip might expect to see.  A packed issue.  Click on link below

December 2016 Burley Line (Newsletter Issue 117)

This is likely to be the last issue for 2016 unless someone can step in to help the overworked President and produce a Christmas special – needn’t be a huge endeavour folks! Any way this one is full of good reading including:

  • Report and photos from our Jindabyne trip – 11-13 Nov
  • the cover photo is part of a report by Luke on a surprising find in Yerrabi Pond
  • Lyall has sent in two very interesting photos.
  • we document a recent first for a new member
  • two Tips from Anglers for Anglers

and lots more – click on the link below.

From the team here at The Burley Line we hope the festive season is a safe and enjoyable one for you – starting with our December social gathering.  Hope to see lots of reports of your summer fishing in the new year. Don’t forget that the first two CAA events are prior to the first meeting in 2017. Watch for email notifications.

June 2016 Burley Line Newsletter

hmm, not sure how this happened but maybe I’ve accidentally deleted the post advising that the June 2016 issue was uploaded?  Anyway, it was a bumper issue with a preview of Nathan’s report on pre-spawning browns on the Eucumbene River (eucumbene), report on the 2016 Tumut outing, some humour from Barry, tips on holding a fish for that happy snap without damage and more.

August 2016 Burley Line Newsletter

The depths of Canberra’s winter has seen a number of us head north to warmer climes.  Surprisingly some are back in Canberra already, just in time for the snow!  In this issue JQ has shown us that we don’t need to go so far away from home to benefit from nice weather – the sky and sea look perfect in the cover photo.  Lyall has also provided some enticement for us to pursue local opportunities – nice looking fish is part of the content.  Lyall has been very busy with new promotional flyers (preview in in this newsletter) as well as new bumper stickers.  First entries in the ‘notable fish list’ have appeared (remember that official recordings are to be made in the little book brought to meetings).  Lots of other news items.  Click on the link below:

July 2016 Issue of Burley Line Newsletter

JQ has put in a stirling effort in the face of work pressures, regional Internet black spots and a pedantic copy editor (Bill!) to produce this month’s Burley Line. A mammoth 24 page issue includes some great material about recent events provided by Jason M and Lyall. Representing the club in multiple fora. Great to hear from them and we’re always looking for stories from members folks.
