Fly Tying 25th July 2011
Just a friendly reminder that the next fly tying evening is next Monday the 25th of July.
Image of a craigs night time from the website flyangleronline.
Eddie Bowman is going to demo a pukeko style night fly. Perfect for night fishing the winter shoreline in the region. Flies like the Craigs Night-time and Scotch Poacher are tied in this style.
The Craigs Night-time is widely recognised as the first to incorporate pukeko feathers. Eric Craig made this fly about 80 years ago and made a killing fishing the Waitahanui Rip while the other anglers went fishless. Fred Fletcher one of Waitahanui,s local identities (See Mr one hundred percent by Keith Draper) asked to see the fly and had it make commercially. It is a fish slayer as much today as it was 80 years ago and every night fisherman should have several in their fly box.
It can be fished in small sizes on a floating line or deep especially in larger sizes.
It’ll be a great night. Hope to see you all there

Tukituki River Trip April 2011
Larry, Brian, Rod, Ron, Martin, Gerry, Piet and Rika all left tha RAA clubrooms for the annual Tuituki trip. Accomodation was again the Hastings Anglers Club rooms. Fishing that afternoon revealed lots of scappy small fish that gave a good account of themselves on light 5 wt rods. Weather was changeable over the three days but 35 fish still hit the net. Highlights included Ron getting his truck stuck (4 wheel drive next year) , the flounder at the local pub and we had our Scots member Martin Smith with us.
On the way back to Rotorua the Ngaruroa and Rangitaiki Rivers were all fished successfully.
Over all a very social trip and one for the calender next year.
A big thanks to Larry Ware.
Below are some of the images captured on this trip
