Issue - October 2013 - Presidents Report A brief President’s report this time. I’ve just returned from 10 days enjoying the warmth of Penang. I also achieved my first hole in one on the hotel’s wonderful pitch & putt 9 hole golf course. As I write this piece the Millbrook weekend is happening. We will look forward to the pictures and fishing reports. While I was away we heard that Bob Rutherford has passed away. Bob was a long standing mem-ber of the Club. He is very fondly remembered for his dry sense of humour and friendship to all. Thank you to Tony and Scott for Chairing the September GM and October Committee meeting respectively. I am already feeling redundant. It is a sign of a healthy Club that we can all take time out and things still roll along smoothly. Thanks guys. The first Royston River House due diligence reports were tabled at the October Committee Meet-ing. They will be discussed by the Committee in more detail over the next couple of weeks with a set of formal Committee recommendations to members being determined at the November Com-mittee Meeting. At this stage the member vote on these recommendations is planned for the No-vember GM. The key issues which have emerged are the extent of the repairs to the hut (roughly 40 man days) and just how much Southern members would use the house. Please consider your likely involvement and potential usage of this resource carefully as we move towards a member vote. The most recent Club fishing event was the fellowship day with the Ballarat Fly Fishing Club. Sadly this event was poorly attended by only five Southern Members. Which was a pity as this was a great opportunity to visit a long standing fellow fishing Club, enjoy their magnificent Club rooms which are built out over the Lake and learn from the local experts. Ask Roley who landed a mag-nificent 2 Kg (approx) brown whether it was a good day. Peter Zarbo also landed a fish. The rest of us just learned a lot. Our next Club day trip is the Golf day at the Marysville golf Club. This day is structured to allow participants the flexibility to either fish all day or to play 9 holes of golf in the morning and then fish in the afternoon. If you are coming please contact Ken Moran and get your name down and or-ganize catering etc. Please support this trip as it was created to give members an alternate Club fish-ing opportunity in November to the multi day trips. Regards, Geoff Churcher

Robert (Bob) Rutherford Vale by Graeme Clifford

Vale: Robert (Bob) John Rutherford. 6/5/1936 - 24/9/2013 It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of a great “Club Man”. From the wilds of Tasma-nia's west coast came the bloke with the “flowery” vocabulary that those who knew him came to love. He was drawn to the mainland by the mighty Snowy Project but ended up in Aspendale. In his re-tirement he was convinced to have a go at that snobbish (As he stated) pastime of fly fishing, and it gave him a new lease on life. He absolutely loved it and took to it with great enthusiasm. He became a great attendee at the clubs various activities and will be well remembered by all those that knew him. Tight lines Bob, R.I.P.

Weipa Adventure 2013 by Tony

Eight of Southern Fly Fishers finest Vikings ventured North to where no man has gone before. These battle hardened comrades numbering eight being John Worrell, Bill Jeans, Ian Sambell, Graham Seeger, Charles Bradley, Peter Golding, Peter Gadd and yes your hero Tony Hyett were well prepared for everything that may lie before them. Deciding not to row from the South to the furthest point North of Australia the motley crew de-cided to catch a flight. The direct flight to Cairns, approx four hours gave the boys a chance to catch up on some sleep before the connecting flight to Weipa. With time between flights, checking in, getting to and from airports etc, the first and last days were taken up with travelling. I was pleasantly surprised when setting foot on the tarmac in Weipa to find the temperature and conditions quite acceptable. Through the next five days of fishing we experienced a very pleasant breeze that kept us reasonably cool. Except for the estuaries when we were chasing Barramundi, where due to very sheltered areas and cloudless skies, we found ourselves suffering heat exhaus-tion. One saving grace in these areas was the amount of Barra caught in these conditions. Largest approx 600mm and up to 25 a day. The Vikings were picked up by a band of fishing guides led by a Fish (Fish being the head honcho of our entourage of guides for the week). These guides proved to be of the highest standard and ex-tremely pleasant people. Their high speed 16 foot boats were in top condition and were handled well by their skippers. What these guys didn’t know about fishing was not worth knowing. Most fish were caught on white clousers with red dumbbell eyes, the stripping varied depending on the species of fish being targeted. Crab patterns were a must for Blue Bastards and Permit, the two most sort after. Some fisherman travel for years to catch these pesky fellas and never succeed. Well let me tell you about one special time, my best day. While fishing with Graham Seeger cruis-ing about 40 feet from the shore I spotted two fish slowly moving between the boat and the shore in clear water. I grabbed my rod that was rigged for Permit with a crab pattern on and expertly cast a few feet in front of the fish, I let the crab pattern sink to the bottom, about two feet and slowly re-trieved bouncing the crab along the bottom. BANG a hook up. The guide, Lee, was as excited as anyone first having sex, myself I stayed calm and professional. Half an hour later I had my first per-mit of about 15lb. At the moment of being netted I lost (Me not the fish!) it and danced the permit shuffle on the deck, what a thrill. I was also privileged to be able to catch a blue bastard and about 30 other fish the same day. Graham also caught a large number of fish that day. Charles Bradley also caught a permit of about 17lb and dropped another. Peter Gadd caught a blue Bastard. Some of the 30 species caught on this trip were Oceanic Queen fish, Blue Salmon, Swal-low Tail Dart, Golden Trevally, Fingermark Bream, Tarpon and Mangrove Jack. Most of the fish-ing was done from boats with some shore fishing as well. Chris, one of the guides, took us about 20 miles out to the first lateral marker of the channel into Weipa where we were privileged to catch plenty of trevally and queenies. I had two hook ups on Cobia estimated to be over a meter and dropped both. We spotted plenty of sharks and Manta Rays staying very close to the boat, what a sight. This trip was a highlight of my fly fishing career being topped off by good company, good food and great weather. A trip to be experienced by all fly fishers. At first I thought the five days fishing was not going to be enough, however it proved to be just right as it was quite an exhausting experience. So get out there Vikings and have a go.

Go Tie a Fly - The CDC Emerger By Peter Gadd

Hook size light wire size 12 to 20 dry fly hook (size 16 is ideal) Tying Thread size 6 (thin) black ONO thread or Danville’s flat waxed nylon Materials Body five pheasant tail fibres

Rib fine copper wire Thorax & wing 2-4 dark grey (natural) CDC feathers Method: 1. Lock thread onto the hook at the half way point. 2. Tie in the copper wire rib facing towards the back of the hook. 3. Stop thread wraps above the barb of the hook. 4. Match the tip ends of the five pheasant tail fibres. Build a chenille over the wire rib. 5. Tie in these fibres, by the tips, at hook bend as one group with two tight turns of thread. 6. Wrap the chenille back toward the hook eye. Stop two hook eye widths behind the hook eye. 7. Match the tips of the four CDC feathers with paired feather curves facing inwards. 8. Match to the full hook shank length (important as it determines the length of the wings). 9. Separate the CDC fibres on each feather by stroking the fibres forward and backward at this point – a bit of saliva helps to maintain the separation. 10. Match and tie all four feathers onto the top of the hook shank at the half way point of the hook, at the feather separation point, using the loop and draw method. The feather butts should face for-ward over the hook eye. The feathers should be tied in loosely and wriggled gently back and for-ward until they are vertical & parallel to the hook shank. 11. Then tie off with four tight thread turns. 12. Cut off the butts of the CDC feathers and save. 13. Wind the thread forward to a point two hook eye widths behind the hook eye. 14. Carefully hold the saved CDC butts between your fingers and cut off the fibres. Don’t release the fibres or they will float off everywhere. 15. Dub the CDC fibres onto the thread sliding the fibres up to form a continuous dubbing. 16. Wind the CDC fibre dubbing onto the hook shank to build up a prominent, buoyant thorax. Make this CDC dubbing is a bit scruffy so the ends stand out to form the legs of the Emerger. 17. Finally, take the four CDC feathers tied in earlier and bend them forward over the thorax to form the wing cases and tie off behind the eye keeping them vertical and matched to form the emerging mayfly wings. Use a couple of turns of thread on the hook shank under the CDC to stand the CDC feathers up at 45 degrees in line with the hook shank and facing forward over the hook eye. Whip finish to form a neat head.
