Anyone keen to do a day trip flyfishing 'around' Perth.

As a newbie to the west, I am assuming the cooler months will be a bit calmer (as well as later sun-up's = no stupid getting up times).

I also have a pretty crappy spinning rod.

i could be up for that...i bought myself some nice fly fishing gear here but never actually been ....so i im up for some learning...and ill show u some spots for the spinner

hey mate,

im a hell keen fisho, but ive never flyfished!...ive heard the streams entering waroona dam are littered with nice sized trout, so i'll probably go with ya(with my spinning gear!)

Where abouts is waroona dam? I've not got any flyfishing gear or nothin, and I'm not a big fisherman, but I like it. I'd buy some floating lures if you'd allow me to tag along

Would Waroona dam rivers have enough water at the mo?

1.5 hrs away sounds good. Have a look at a site called

I'm not very good but enjoy time in water out of the city.

Bream are also meant to be fun.

D3V1L, I can suggest a bit of wool (with floatant) as a good alternative to a fly with a hook for practice. Tie on the wool and head to your nearest oval.

A good book is Fly Fishing Fundamentals by Rob Sloane (1993). Flylife is a good shop in Bayswater. See Chris or give him a call. He is also mad keen on bream.

Also, have a look here;

Cheers.
