The Passing of Bob Rutherford

It is with sadness that we advise the passing of Mr Bob Rutherford who was a valued past member of our club.

His funeral will be held at Le Pines Funeral Home 21 McDonald St Mordialloc on Monday October 30 at 2.30pm.

These details are for anyone who would like to attend.

Our thoughts go out to Bob’s family during this time.

A nice fish from Wendouree

I just received an e-mail from Roley Ansems who said that he caught a 4lb Brown at the Lake Wendouree interclub trip on Saturday September 21. Roley was being hosted by Chris Doody (President of Ballarat Fly Fishers) on his boat and caught this fish using a Green Magoo loch style.

I suppose this picture is proof! Well done Roley.

Dries: Royal Wulff’s, Humpies, Stimulators, Red Tags, Dunns, Possum Emerges, Adams Emerges

Other fliesĀ for strong consideration: Stick Caddis, Midges (Particularly the Maximus Midge), Small Black and Brown Nymphs.
