Rotorua Anglers Association

Phil Troutman will demo the Elk hair caddis. A cool little dry.

Adult imatations work well anytime caddis are hatching. The elk hair caddis is the standard american imatation as it floats well in rough water but also works in slower water. It is one of those must haves for the fly box.

7.00 pm at the clubrooms.

Seven club members departed for Patangata to stay at the  Hastings Anglers club rooms. Larry and  Byran decided to get in quick session before the main group arrivied and landed 2 nice fish within the first 10 mins. This boded  well for the next two days.

On  Saturday Billy, Tony and Jim headed upstream while Larry and Bryan headed downstream. (The ladies held the fort) The days tally was a respectable 31 fish.

On Sunday Larry, Bryan and Jim fished the Ngaruroro, Taruarau and also the Rangitikei River on the way home adding more fish to the weekends tally.

A wonderful weekend thanks to Larry.

Below are some of the images Larry captured during this stunning weekend.
