A Season in Profile
Spotted this on the MAS website. Rod Whiteway has penned an excellent piece summarizing the past season on the lower Monaro around the Kybeyan River. Rod is on the MAS executive and expresses his concerns in respect to the effects of the current drought and paucity of insect life.

Jason
The emails have been few and far between in the Editors Inbox, so I can only assume everyone is out living the dream!
This is a great edition; we have more great articles even a special one from around the globe and spectacular pics of the most recent outing- Lyle Knowles on the Cotter River. Thank you for the contributions, I hope you enjoy the content.

Many thanks to Jason for largely putting this together in my absence. Thanks also from both of us to Greg for his report on Scottish fishing.
CAA Events Calendar Change
There has been a change approved by the committee to the program for May 2020. I have corrected our events web page in accordance with Stefan’ advice:
For May 2020, the CFA Interclub is scheduled for 1 -3 May at Wallerawang, (I will be assisting with the event) and we should again try and entice a participant group from CAA; Fly Fish Aus will conduct their competition 9-10 May at Tumut; and
I will organise for 22 -24 May for a CAA club outing to the usual Tumut region.
This will give people a weekend either side to pursue fish in other environs before the close-of-season bash on 8 June (Queens birthday) as well. Plenty of time to fish!
An Angling Opportunity in Scotland
