Thread: Trout Fishing: FREE Flys for Juniors

Gidday team, really like hearing about those of you working hard to get others into the sport. Looking to pass on a selection of trout flies to anyone getting their kids/mates into fishing. I’ve been really fortunate over the years with help from others and have the capacity to tie my own flys so I figure this is some way I can pass on the generosity of others.

From my experience a bit of time with someone willing to share some skill/experience can be the defining moment for a beginner and really sets the scene. Thanks to all of you that are passing on your skills. Cheers to the HAWKESBAY Guide that bumped into me fishing one of his honey holes ‘unsuccessfully’ and showed me the way (Patangata 2005 ish). Aside from loosing the big one.. the most gutting part of fishing starting out is loosing that $3 fly that’s you’ve saved the lawn money for.. and let’s be fair if your buy flys for the kids you’d probably rather save the money for jars at the pub.. I have 200-300 available so will be in 10-20 bundles depending on the interested.

To be allegeable, like this post, tag me below, and share your ‘why’ ie who are you helping into the sport. First 20 odd people I should be able to help out.

PM me to sort out details, I’ll likely get you to flick a small amount for postage/courier ($2-5) unless you live in Karitane/Waikouaiti.

Cheers
