22.01.2022 We're excited to be having Greg French at the Tasmanian Fly Fishing Expo speaking about why wilderness matters and discussing his new book 'Water Colour'. He will also be available for book signing for a limited time! Greg French is one of Australia's most-loved fishing authors and identities. His comprehensive guidebook 'Trout Waters of Tasmania' is referred to as 'the bible' by so many of Tasmania's fishing community and is considered indispensable. All of Greg's books include a theme of wild places and the natural world, often with warming tales of fishing and friendship. It will be a true privilege hearing him speak and getting the opportunity for a book signing. Early bird tickets for the Expo are now available at https://essentialflyfisher.com.au//tasmanian-fly-fishing-e

The gloss and lustre of these prints has to be seen to be appreciated.

18.01.2022 Another member of the crew from Manic Tackle Project, Gus Lapin, will be coming to Tasmania for the Expo this weekend. Gus is the Australian Sales and Marketing Consultant for Manic Tackle Project and is relatively young in the world of fly fishing. Having spent two years abroad in the United States and Canada, Gus caught the fly fishing bug in some of the most beautiful places including Colorado, Alberta and British Columbia. Upon his return to Australia, he only had one thing on his mind, fly fishing. Gus will be on hand swapping lines, sorting rods and rigging up all manner of stuff for you to cast and demo from the Manic Tackle Project lineup.

Whether it’s fly-fishing, hunting, travel, or just daily living, a Hawkins work-of-art is a story you’ll continue to relive for decades and beyond. Come along and support Trevor and witness his incredible pieces of art first-hand.
