24.01.2022 Guides day off and now the reel falls off.

24.01.2022 http://www.peterhayesflyfishing.com/2019-fly-fishing-champ/

23.01.2022 Tracking and good body language I came across this short video that was taken a couple of years ago when I was teaching casting inTaiwan. I know 'it depends' but as a generalisation most fly fishermen could do well to become 'more compact' and conservative with their movements whilst backing off the power.

23.01.2022 Today is the last day of my 24 th guiding season. A ritual is to fish with my dear friend Mike Stevens and try to catch a trout on a dry fly and a cane rod on our last cast of the season. My son Lachie was also with us this afternoon and that made the session even more special. On this beautiful Tasmanian midlands autumn afternoon we celebrated our friendships with fly fishing friends that have passed. ... A Noel Jetson tied Red Tag, a Peter Mckean cane rod and one of Andrew Harker’s hardy reels helped bring three beautiful trout to hand. A gin and tonic back at the car was a fitting salute to Ricky ‘Fishboy’ Sutherland. 2019 will be the start of a quarter of a century of guiding and teaching of fly casting. Bring it on !

22.01.2022 Its now less than two months to this years Cressy Cane. The Draft program is here http://www.peterhayesflyfishing.com//Cressy-Cane-Draft-Pro for you to have a look at. I am delighted and excited at the prospect of our International Rod Maker Bob Clay presenting this year. Bob will share with us, his fishery, his rods and his years of experience of Bamboo Rod making. An innovative and thoughtful rod designer, his hollow built Bamboo spey rods have implications for shorter ...rods too. He will be a tremendous addition and asset to this years program. http://www.peterhayesflyfishing.com//Cressy-Cane-Draft-Pro Last year, at Cressy Cane, the group decided that for this years gathering, it would be an interesting exercise to contrast and compare two rods. The 7613 Dickerson and the Paul Young Perfectionist. Both 7'6" and consistently placed by rodmakers in their top ten favourite tapers. This exercise will be fun and educational. So, we will have 20 + rods made for this years event but each rod will differ in one aspect from the others. eg: 4 piece, bamboo ferrule, one piece, madake cane, swelled butt, oven tempered, and so on. ( the list of makers and rods can be seen here - http://www.troutbeat.com/cressycane/rod-project-2018.html ) This exercise will build on previous Cressy Cane events to develop a deeper understanding of the qualities of the wonderful cane material and the consequence of altering rod characteristics. The wonderful Chef Jen ( 10 out of 10) will be looking after us. Peter Hayes will always teach you something new. The mesmerising David Anderson with his beautiful reading to start the day. The generous Nick Taransky and the wonderful energy of fellow Rodmakers. Old friends and new friends. I cant wait. You can book online here to reserve a place. http://www.peterhayesflyfishing.com//cressy-cane-weekend-/ I will be in touch closer to the date with a final program and also to sort airport pick ups/drop offs etc but in the meantime if you need to discuss anything, you can email, ring or text me 0418426905 or Haysie 0409 944 699 [email protected] With warmest regards David ( Bamboo) Hemmings http://www.peterhayesflyfishing.com

16.01.2022 From Wizzy and his team from Inland Fisheries Tasmania. They had a guy pull out of an upcoming trip and there is an opportunity for someone to take advantage of the previously paid $1200 deposit. Weipa is perhaps the best saltwater destination that I have ever fished. If you can make the short notice you should go along with this great group of guys. You won't regret it. Chris' number is below. Peter. 'Great opportunity for someone to go on a fly fishing adventure to Weipa with 5 blokes and renowned guide Alan (Fish) Philliskirk and team. We have had one person that has had to withdraw. This spot is offered at a substantial discount. It is an 8 night and 7 day fishing fishing package arriving in Weipa on Saturday 3 June 2017 and fishing 4th-11th and departing Weipa on 11 June. If you are interested call Chris on 0418566272'

12.01.2022 A guides day off and a happy ending to the reel saga.

07.01.2022 A guides day off. Such a rare thing and much needed after a very hectic month of tremendous dry fly fishing with clients. Finally an opportunity to enjoy some of it myself. Taransky madake split cane rod. Saricione reel. Oru kayak and dry flies.

04.01.2022 A great finish to my 24 th guiding season. Annie Skarrat caught a thumper in a tiny creek on a hopper and christened her new 7’9 #3 weight rod into the bargain. She must have been paying attention in this past weekends Girls Gone Fly Fishing event.

03.01.2022 The last cast on the last day of the season with a Callum Ross cane rod and a dry fly. This fish was luckily caught at 4:42 pm. It's a tradition that I have shared with fellow enthusiast and one of my best friends Mike Stevens for many years. Mike's last fish came exactly an hour earlier. Afterwards we sat on the bank and enjoyed a fine Single Malt as we watched the sun fade low into the western sky.... All the while a baby platypus literally played at our feet. It was a great finish to a great season. The winter fly casting schools start soon

Every year in April they are drawn to the small town of Cressy, in Tasmania’s northern midlands, joining others at Hayes on Brumbys to enjoy a weekend of great company, fabulous food, wine and champagne, and to improve their fly fishing and casting skills....

01.01.2022 Understanding Tracking and becoming 'more compact' I came across this short video the other day. I'd been teaching casting for several days in Taiwan and an idea of a tracking exercise came to me in the shower that morning. For what it's worth, and of course, 'it depends' I think that most fly fishermen should try to achieve better tracking, become more compact and conservative in their movements and learn to use much less power.
