Flying Tips

The Flying Tips section is a new addition to the club site. Here we aim to provide information on fly selection and fly tying with recipes aimed at our local species in particular.


To start with we have Bob Beamish's introduction to selecting flies for trout fishing. Choosing flies for trout fishing can be a daunting experience with hundreds of patterns available, many claiming to be the gun pattern. Bob has distilled this process down to an essential dozen flies that will work successfully on most trout waters. You can read his article here.

Our section article is a photographic presentation of our most commonly sought species here on the Central Coast and the flies used to catch them.
