Simon Gawesworth’s video on YouTube is 30 odd minutes and gives an excellent step by step tutorial on the basic overhead cast.

Prompted by the recent trout stocking changes, Steve Starling has weighed in with a thoughtful piece on trout in Australia.

The TaleOut online magazine has produced another great (Australian) article.

Ben has produced two other videos covering the next two trout food insects – stoneflies and caddis.

I can’t say I’ve seen many stoneflies, but his references to squallids and salmonflies put some context to other American videos I’ve watched.

The caddis one is very relevant.

I wonder if we could get him to do one on mudeyes/dragonflies.

Ben from Huge Flyfisherman on YouTube provides humour that may be an acquired taste, but every now and then he uploads a tutorial that is particularly useful to those beginning their fly fishing journey.

In this video

he gives an excellent description of the lifecycle of the mayfly.

CAA was approached by a local Canberran Henry Delves, who is the developer of a new fly fishing journal/website.

Henry explained:

I would like to share our free online fly fishing journal, Tale Out with the members of the Canberra Anglers. As a free online fishing resource Tale Out is likely something that your members would be interested in.

The most efficient thing for the club’s members to do is to sign up to the free monthly newsletter. This will keep people in the loop when our articles are published.

Tale Out is taking a different approach to our fly fishing stories, speaking more to the experience rather than the traditional ‘grip and grins’. We hope it resonates.

We’ll be inviting Henry to be a speaker next year.

The following gives you a snapshot of the content.

This popped up in my inbox. Some useful advice for those who catch and release.
