Welcome to the September/October Edition of the Fly Cast. I hope you enjoy it.
I’m sorry that it has been a little late, but I have been away for a couple of weeks, and then laid a little low with some sort of respiratory bug…again! Read More »

Club members enjoying or 2023 AGM.

President David Spencer lands his 10lb trout, Dunmore Trout Waters

Welcome to our Newsletter for July & August.

Our AGM for 2023 is now done and dusted and, although I was unable to attend, from the photos I have seen, and based on reports from some members, it appears that an enjoyable time was had by those in attendance. Read More »

Dave' first carp

Welcome to a rather delayed HFF Newsletter for March and April. I trust everyone had a safe and enjoyable Easter, and maybe the opportunity for some piscatorial pursuits!

The loneliness of a redfin fisherman

Welcome to what is sadly our last Edition as editors of Flycast.

After retirement in 2005, we travelled down the East Coast from Port Douglas to Mallacoota before finally settling in Camden Haven as our “forever home” twelve years ago.
