Eddie Bowman will demonstrate the tying of a steamer type fly. Streamer type flies have to be the most popular lure in the Rotorua district. This type of fly comes into its own at this time of year as trout seek out spawning smelt. Anglers harling a large Parsons Glory, Green Orbit or similiar in shallow water are usually rewarded with nice hard fighting rainbow trout. Jigging is also starting to come into its own and using a range of streamer patterns in both large and small sizes will also be reward anglers with hard fighting rainbow trout.

Some basic instructions can be found at the following link How to tie a streamer fly

At the clubrooms 7.00pm.

Below are some of the images captured on this awesome day.
