As a collective team or individual? We could have our own Australiafishing tilapia comp on a small scale, very simple prizes etc. Could try and organise something I just need to get a bit ahead in my schedule first. Turns out our April holidays got cancelled so now no 2 weeks off. Bleh.

Squid!

K I’m gunna try and get out this weekend, hopefully the cold weather keeps swimmers away from this pool. It’s either that or I try Toowoomba. Again depends on getting uni done

Thanks Ellicat.

Love these reports, so well written.

Don’t suppose anyone can share some tilapia sites where I can practice fly fishing for them? (Where they’re visible etc)

Haha, I’m a C&R guy

Hopefully going Sunday but just going to be watching

Nah got too much on at work to take time off, I’m the only machinist there so they need me badly. Should be able to get by mostly one handed for a bit.

BUT! We do have April 1st through to 12th off! Woo!

I didn’t get to go.. with half an hour left of work I nicked my thumb.

Apologies for a bit of gore - feel free to remove.

Today is hopefully the day!

Agreed, I’m fine with an annual fee. But as said above - as long as it doesn’t go to a greens group, because ultimately they’d want fishing banned anyway 

Will have to make sure we do up reports if we have success, hey?

Anyone going this weekend? I’m gunna try and get out tommorow arv after work for a few hours. Then back to uni assignments for another few weeks 

Just a note an an above comment - “most fish size limits 20-27cm”. Most start at 30. Very few are in the 20-27cm bracket.

Be very careful with how you make a payment. I agreed to buy an GoPro + post, did a bank transfer. Well, the cops who answered his phone (after a week of trying to call) informed me he owed a loooooot of people go pros...

Use PayPal is safest way but DO NOT make it as a “friends/family” payment/transfer as this isn’t covered under their policy.

Having said that there are genuine and good people on there, but there is a reason it’s called “scumtree”

A little.. - also Splashy said to say he sent me.

44 bass is scarce? That’s a heck of a good day in my books!

Welcome Licespray

I'd be interested to hear some reports of yours.

Cheers Hamish

Shall do, not sure when I’ll fish again though, hopefully soon! Just gotta get some assessments completed

Hey Licespray

 

Be careful of this new hobby of yours, you think Stellas are expensive

The rivers and creeks around Toowoomba are teaming with Carp (or as we like to say Mud Marlin, Feshwater Bonefish  and Cod if you know the right spots.

 

As for a teacher I'd thoroughly recommend joining a club. A mate and I started the Brisbane Fly Fishing club around ten years ago and it's still going strong. They have regular outings and now with COVID under check a bit they are slowly getting back to normal with monthly club nights (lots of fly casting gurus to help you out).

 

Give the current president  (Marcus) an email and he'll send you more info.

Good luck, it's sooo much better than lure chucking and bait soaking..............INCOMING!!!!!

Thanks, will send an email this arv

There’s actually been a couple of small cod caught here in the Myall Creek in Dalby these last few years. Great news to read, used to just hear mostly of carp.

Edit: as for Stella’s..oh those Sages, eegads!

Dang this looks like it woulda been fun! Will have to get in on the next one

I intend on trying to become a contributing member here, not just a “I’m here for this” *gets it and leaves*

Hello, @Nog!

lovely snapper by the way!

Hey guys and gals,

I’m Troy, 29, been half heartedly fishing since I was about 10 and am still trying to pin down a hobby that keeps me going, always enjoyed fishing but like the concept of fly fishing so am here in the hopes of finding a teacher (how’s that for being straight forward?).

I’m a bit west of Toowoomba but hey happy to travel pretty darn far for meet ups and what not. Was thinking it would be fun to organise some social tilapia days in some public access areas of Brisbane and sorrounds. Could make a fun little contest out of it etc

Anyways, hello!
