What time are the meetings?
Meetings are held at the clubrooms on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month and start at 7:30pm. From 6:30pm, the casting pool is open (with lights on in winter), so feel free to arrive early, practise your casting and get some free tips from experienced members.
How can I improve my casting?
We offer regular casting tuition at the club pool, with Certified Casting Instructors usually available. Many members also get together at other times to practise informally. The FFI Casting Skills Development Program runs on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6:30pm. Competition casters meet on Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:00pm for coaching sessions, where you can learn from some of the best. For safety, please wear eye protection when casting or near the casting pool.
I’m confused by all the different fly fishing gear. Can someone help?
Absolutely. Fly fishing has plenty of new terms and equipment to learn, but our experienced members are always happy to help. They can guide you through rods, reels, fly lines, leaders, tippet, knots and flies, and help make it all much clearer.
I’m new to fly fishing. Can I come on a club trip?
Yes — and we encourage it! Being on the water is the best way to learn. Club trips are led by experienced members who are happy to help with gear selection, flies and techniques.
Where can I find information about club trips?
All trips are advertised in our monthly newsletter, and trip notes are emailed before each outing. You can also speak directly with the trip leader if you have questions. Members under 18 are very welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
What if I still have questions?
Just ask! Speak with a committee member on club nights — we’re always happy to help or point you to an experienced member who can assist.
