I got an email the other day that reassured me that my efforts here in Burley Line have some value, but perhaps that some other aspects of the CAA communications might need revisiting: āthe Burley Line is the most touched aspect of the clubā¦.Iāve never been to the beginner part of the websiteā¦but I read every BL.ā Burley Line comes out monthly but our on-line presence is much more than that. Our website hosts a number of resources ā much of it is embodied in our Blog ā¦. hmm, thatās just a fancy name for a collection of snippets (posts) which weāve uploaded onto the Internet (youāve seen āpostsā before when you went to download Burley Line, but we post up lots more informative material). The āBeginnerā section referred to is one, though it has now been renamed āTipsā, but there a number of different segments that you can browse or search (Places to Fish and Cooking are two in particular that I reckon are well worth cruising through). The posts idea also offer you an opportunity to upload comments and questions. Plus, you can (like around 50 have done already) register to get an email notification when new posts are uploaded. Read about how to use our blog here.
For this issue, thank to Claude for his EuroNymphing tip. Not sure Iāll be using it mate, š but Iām sure many in the club will benefit. Jason continues to have us jealously looking north, this time some fish photos. Talking about fish ā Stuart seems to travel even more than Lyall, currently in the USA. Nathan and Compleat Angler may have been re-branded but his support for CAA and fly fishing generally is unchanged. Iāve put in two articles in relation to two organisations that CAA are affiliated with.
Here we are in August, which means our AGM is just around the corner. This is a āmust-comeā event. Get along and acknowledge those folk who have earnt the various trophies. Of course an AGM also means hearing how the club has fared over the year and the election of a new Committee. Donāt be worried that youād be shanghaied for a job, Iām sure the Committee have identified at least one person for each job, but everyone is encouraged to put their hand up for a position. Being on the Committee is a rewarding experience and new ideas are always welcome.
About the Klink n Dink Trout Fly
Thank you Shaun for bringing this interesting design to our attention. This fly is particularly useful for those of us that use barbless hooks and get frustrated when we lose our droppers.
The Klink n Dink is one of the Klinkhammer patterns that are excellent at bringing fish up, designed to be used as a dropper fly to be fished in conjunction with additional patterns on the same rig. The ring tied securely to the curve on the hook makes this easy to tie a tippet to, keeping the tippet away from the hook itself, thus preventing problems when hooking fish.
When fishing in tandem, this dry fly can be used as an indicator when fishing alongside a weighted or beaded nymph, and has the ability to catch fish on either of the fishing flies used, making it an increasingly popular method of fishing on either rivers or still water fisheries.
This is a great way to tempt fish that are feeding on nymphs higher in the water to rise to a dry fishing fly.
Creator of this trout fly: Malcom Anderson (?)
Country of origin for this trout fly: Scotland
This trout fly is designed to be fished on Dams & Reservoirs, Rivers & Streams, Still Water

Excellent drone footage of fighting the fish. Pretty good demonstrations of best practices. I think the only admission was no mention of the benefits of barbless hooks.
Arrived. Available here.

I got this from Claude. Just a little late for the July Burley Line, but will appear in the August version for those who don’t follow CAA Blog News.
He subsequently proposed the idea of a simple rating scheme that CAA could use and suggested these vlogs would rate:
Whilst searching YouTube for fly fishing videos I came across White Dog instructional videos on āHow to Euro Nymph Seriesā. The videos are great and I have picked up a number of good tips. I consider the videos of equivalent quality to that of Dynamic Nymphing which you have to pay for. There are about five videos in seriesā¦with some additional videos on topics such asĀ ā5 Biggest Mistakes When Euro Nymphing – Tips to Euro Nymph Effectivelyā.
