Last month’s meeting At the August meeting Bill Harris gave us a tip to prevent tangles when fishing with a stripping basket. Bill uses electric cable ties fixed to the bottom of his basket and pointing upwards and slightly forward away from his body in the direction he will be casting. The cable ties, sticking up, prevent his coils of line from becoming tangled as he shoots line from the basket during casting. The cable ties aid in separating the coils as they lie in the basket. Tangles and knots in your fishing line are all too common if you don’t take steps to avoid them. Add in the extra problems associated with fishing in darkness while trying to cast a reasonably long line and you don’t need to be struggling with a tangled line! Thanks for the tip Bill. Tony Houpt gave an excellent talk on his experiences when fishing for the NZ Silver Flies at the World Championships in Slovenia. He began by explaining how he became interested in competition fly fishing for trout. Originally he had been a volunteer controller up until about six years ago when he took the plunge into competitive angling. Clearly, it has been a move that he has not regretted. He has now represented his country on several occasions both at home and away. Overseas destinations have included Wales, Tasmania, Poland and Slovenia. No doubt Tony will be working hard to make the NZ team at next year’s Hutt Valley Angling Club Incorporated - September 2012 9
