GENERAL PROSPECTING TECHNIQUES If there is no visible activity prospecting or blind fishing may be the go. But its not just "chuck and chance" fly fishing. Blind fishing or prospecting can be very productive and I'll show you how to read the water and to make a logical selection of line, fly, presentation and retrieve.		PROVEN FLIES Most flies catch more fisher-folk than fish. I'll introduce you to flies that really do work and show you how best to fish them.
	POLAROIDING FOR TROUT For me polaroiding is one of the most rewarding forms of fly fishing. It involves the process of sighting fish in streams and lakes with the aid of polaroid sunglasses and then working out and executing a when, where, what and how equation with the aim of enticing the sighted fish to take the fly. I like it because it puts me in environments that I enjoy and it's a real challenge of my stealth and cunning. I guess to the uninitiated this all sounds pretty corny, well perhaps it is, but don't knock it until you have tried it and had some success with it.
SORTING OUT YOUR OWN GEAR If you have your own fly rod and flies its always best to bring those along so that together we can work through any glitches in how they are set up and how you use them. Often I see situations where fly-fishers are having difficulty either getting started with fly- fishing or with a particular outfit. The problem may be that whilst your gear has been sold to you as a balanced outfit that in fact its not balanced at all. I have a range of lines available for you to trial over your own rod.		WIND LANE FISHING Wind lanes are evidenced by calm slicks that form along the surface of the water. What you can see is often just the tip of the iceberg and just out of sight there can be vast quantities of feeding trout. Experience the excitement of fishing to actively feeding trout in wind lanes on Lake Jindabyne or Lake Eucumbene.
	LOCH STYLE FLY FISHING Loch style fly fishing is fly-fishing over the lee side of a boat that is side onto the wind with the wind at your back. The real skill however is in knowing when to employ loch style fly fishing techniques and how to go about it. I'll show you the key elements of this exciting technique - there like building blocks and the more of these basic building blocks you have in place the more success you will have.
CASTING TUITION AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Whilst I can be a little relaxed in my own casting from time to time in most cases I can help you work out casting difficulties.		SAND FLATS FISHING FOR WHITING BREAM & FLATHEAD I grew up on the shores of Lake Illawarra and still enjoy fishing it and other estuary systems. I also have an extensive knowledge of a number of Bass fisheries. I can show you when, where and how to fish extensive sand flats, rocky bars and shore lines, feeder streams, reefs, drop offs, channels and bass fisheries.
	G. LOOMIS RODS AND BFR MODULAR REELS If you don't have your own fly rod and flies don't worry. I have an extensive range of quality fly fishing tackle and flies available for your use at no additional cost.
