DrGrahamParticipantAt this stage we have enough flies for the boxes, although a few more will also be welcome…especially if anyone can spare 15 lake fishing flies (Matukas, Woolly Buggers, Mudeye patterns, etc.)
Hello Peter, I’m happy to supply 15 Sloane’s Rabbit Fur Flies. Not only is it great frog pattern, it’s also a superb mudeye pattern, virtually no bulk and easy to cast. Cheers, Gra.

Peter GibsonParticipantThanks to Frank Hickling for these “blinged-up blowflies” with pink sighting posts…and as he said “tied with love”.

Peter GibsonParticipantAn update on this year’s breast cancer fishing clinic, just in case anyone thought the event was fizzling out:
The clinic to be held at Dutton Trout Hatchery at Ebor, NSW, last year was cancelled due to COVID travel restrictions, and re-scheduled for March this year, but that too had to be cancelled due to floods in northern NSW and south east QLD (many of the volunteers/participants came from those regions).
The organisers are now aiming for 5 November 2022.
All the flies that Forum members contributed are safely stacked away in the individual fly boxes that each lady will get on the day. It’s an amazing collection, I’ll post some pics later.
Thanks to everyone for their patience.
