NEW ROSS FLY REELS
 
The Evolution LT is unquestionably one of the lightest fly reels ever produced. This large arbor fly reel is a machining masterpiece and the lightest in its class. The Evolution LT is fitted with an aluminum spool cap, aluminum drag knob and aluminum escapement cover. Our customers have been asking for more metal in their fly reel and that is exactly what you are going to get! To keep the weight in check with these improvements, we have also added ventilation to the spool and the frame, allowing for the addition of metal components with no measurable weight increase. This series is designed for those anglers who appreciate both art and function. The cosmetic innovation and precision workmanship of the Evolution LT series is only surpassed by its drag system which is precise and sensitive - capable of protecting the lightest tippets even when battling world-class fish. To guarantee the level of dependability consumers have come to expect from all Ross products, the Evolution LT series has been designed with a triple redundancy drag system, providing three backup systems to ensure dependability under the most demanding conditions.
Scientific Anglers announces new for release in late 2012 a new addition to the GPX fly line family. The new line called the GPX Hover is targeted towards the anglers that want to fish just under the surface. This sub-surface feature gives the ability to reduce drag when fishing chronomids, emergers and other flies fished just under the surface. It also gets your line under surface chop which is crucial in low drag situations. The GPX Hover is engineered to be density compensated to level out at 1 to 4 inches below the surface. It will maintain a level at a slow retrieve to be extremely effective in that fishing zone. As with all of our GPX lines it is one half heavy in weight to help aid in loading faster action rods
DVD'S IN STOCK
Jazz & Fly Fishing - Season One
Jazz & Fly Fishing is a jazz quartet, a fly fishing community and a surrealistic film project rolled into one. It all started in Helsinki in 2008. Two young men met in a pub and came up with the idea to put together a jazz band of fly fishermen - and film it. Season One tells the story of the band's 2009 tour in northern Scandinavia.
Off The Grid
RA Beattie's new production Off the Grid, is a collection of films from two years on the road - fishing and filming in an assortment of locations around the world. All of the films are connected by a common theme: they highlight people, places and fish, that were out of the ordinary. Avoiding the "Big Name" waters, hatches and fishing grounds the film showcases fly fishing in a different light.

Flyfishing
Rivers:-
Stream levels have been very good over the past week or so with some nice fishing to be had when the weather allows. Thredbo and Eucumbene rivers are at a very fishable level and will and have produced some great dry fly action. The weekend just gone was very tough with the cool and windy conditions but even then some nice mayfly activity on the Eucumbene produced some fun fishing. The Thredbo level has been varying with the rain but still very fishable and if you can jag some good weather will produce some great dry fly Action. Best areas to look at is in the higher reaches around Kyandra or up around Tantangara we have been getting some good reports off bigger fish. The Thredbo river has been fishing well around the Thredbo village with some good reports off brown been Caught.
Best areas have been the upper Euc and up around the Thredbo village using B/H Nymphs , Klinkhammers, Humpy Royals, Adams parachutes.
Might be worth to start looking at all other streams as well the moonba river, little Thredbo, snowy river, all the streams you have been thinking about all this winter think you will be very Suprised
Hi guys,
thought I'd shoot through a few shots of some fish I picked up on the bidgee during the week. Some a #16 pheasant tail nymph hung under the good old shaving brush, couple took the brush as well, and a one on bead head. Great couple of days on the river, weather was fantastic.
Lake Eucumbene:- fishing is starting to get better get off the floating lines try the intermediate or the new Hover SA line.the Hover line is working well great line
Reports have been a little Better from Eucumbene this week there are still some great Rainbows to be caught. Wet flies on dark are the best options with Craig’s Nigh time, brown and black Beetles, Fuzzy Wuzzy, Woolly Buggers are the best patterns to try. Homeleigh Bay, Rainbow Pines, Seven Gates and the River Mouth are the best spots to look at. Pick areas with good weed beds and some depth. Searching out clear water is a must as wave action is stirring up some areas and making the water cloudy. Just been getting good reports around Rushys bay and around seven gates the rainbows are starting to come in closer. Most fisherman are starting to strip there fly’s faster so when using woolly buggers get them moving. I have been using size 12 fuzzy Wuzzys and getting good results.
My best fly’s have been fuzzy Wuzzys, black woolly buggers, black Muddlers,
The Mudeyes have been moving around now so the fishing is starting to improve.
Good reports around Seven gates geen Nymphs,tom jones, Olive woolly buggers
Hi Guys . This 60cm Brown was caught by Singleton Fly Fishing Club and Central Coast Fly Rodders member at Breamar Bay this week on sunset on a foam mudeye. The fly was purchased at your shop on Saturday . Tippet was Maxima 12 pound Charmeleon . Interestingly no mudeyes were in her stomach only yabbie shell and caddis pupae.
Greg said he uses 12 pound only after sunset to make sure the big ones don’t get away .
Cheers and tight lines
Lake Tantangara :-A few very nice quality fish have been reported but not much in the way of numbers at this stage. Reports suggest that the fishing has improved over the past week.
Best flies will be small nymphs both beadhead and unweighed, stick caddis, caddis pupa, Klinkhammers, black wolly worms, Mark2 Woollie Buggers and woolly worms and buggers

· Trolling and Spinning
Eucumbene:- Reports from the lake have been ok.Launching access is available at Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach, Dam Wall . With cooler conditions there should be a few more fish taking shallow running minnows and Tassie Devils, strike pro blades and X-Rap Rapalas, RMG Scorpions this week.
Mostly flatline tassies and small minnows. There are fish in close and on top early in the day but as the sun gets up going wider and deeper is the best bet.
Tassies in, 89,105,pp,48,y62,73,23,88and most of the new Tassie are getting some good fish. and any of the yellow wing patterns have been excellent S12 is working well. Dual Depth versions are a good option for getting down a fraction deeper.Best Stinger Lures are 17,18,25,3,4,22,11, Strike Pro Blades and Min Mins are working very well
Eucumbene 58.3 %
Jindabyne 87.7%
