It is with great sadness that we notify you of the passing of Mr Karl Meyerheinrich, one of our Life Members, a past Committee Member and one of the key people behind the construction of the casting pool.

A Funeral Service to celebrate the life of Mr Karlheinz Meyerheinrich will be held in the Boyd Chapel, SpringvaleBotanicalCemetery, Princes Hwy, Springvale on Thursday (Oct. 17, 2013) at 10.30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Tabulam and Templer Homes for the Aged.

A number of our members will be attending and Geoff Churcher would be happy to take anyone who wants to go along.

Our relatively new members Ray and Kathy Hill have been reported to have caught their first trout at Millbrook, and yes we have photos to prove it.

A news bulletin just in reports that Kathy landed a 4.75lb Brown (Pictured below) with her legs buckling and her screams for help heard from the nearby town of Wallace. Luckily her guide Doddy was close by to assist.

Ray also caught a nice Brown (Pictured below) with the assistance of expert guide Philip Weigall.

Now that the winter Fly Tying Course has concluded Max is ready to go again with his renowned Fly Tying nights.

The first session will be held on Wednesday the 16th of October and then each third Wednesday of the month after that. Exact dates can be found in the Fly Fisher.

Time: 7.00 – 9.30pm

Venue: SFF Clubrooms

Please have a chat to Max if you require further information.
