Another feature this coming month is the annual Fly Tying Competition, this<br />
year being hosted by the Kapiti <strong>Club</strong>. Jeff Wood is the chief judge for this<br />
competition <strong>and</strong> Alan Markham is our club judge. So a big thank you to both<br />
Jeff <strong>and</strong> Alan for assisting with this. We would like as many of you as<br />
possible to turn up at the event this year to support our team of John Millar<br />
<strong>and</strong> Graham Odlum. We will advise of travel arrangements at the<br />
September club meeting.<br />
There is also the on river workshop for newer members being held on the<br />
29th September – you need to bring your own gear (if you have any) as this<br />
is a h<strong>and</strong>s on session where you will be setting up your rod for the various<br />
fishing styles – dry, nymph, etc. Members who do not have their own gear<br />
yet should let a committee member know so that we can supply club<br />
equipment for the day. We will be looking to get numbers for this at the<br />
club night or register online. This is to give you as much assistance as we<br />
can prior to the new season.<br />
There are also a number of club trips to look forward to so register your<br />
interest online or contact Robin Bound.<br />
Just a reminder to take two rods if you go away on a trip – as I was fortunate<br />
when I was away recently <strong>and</strong> due to a memory lapse on my part – no more<br />
information due to another loss of memory, I was down to one rod –<br />
however I could continue to fish later in the day with the back-up rod. I also<br />
managed to l<strong>and</strong> a trout on my first time fishing the Tongariro – <strong>and</strong> I was<br />
the fourth in a line of other fisherman – I only had the confidence to do this<br />
due to all the support <strong>and</strong> coaching that I have received from other more<br />
experienced club members – so take advantage of the casting clinic, the<br />
buddy programme etc so you too can feel more confident <strong>and</strong> comfortable<br />
when out fishing.<br />
