Bendigo & District Fly Fishers

Another great evening with Rob from Troutlore with him tying up his "Congo Baitfish". As always, informative and entertaining!! Great turnout from club members.

There's still time to have your say on GMW's draft recreational area management plans for Cairn Curran Reservoir, Hepburns Lagoon, Lake Nillahcootie, Lake William Hovell, Mildura Weir, Newlyn Reservoir, Torrumbarry Weir, and Tullaroop Reservoir.

Goulburn-Murray Water are calling on the community to have your say to help shape the future of recreational areas managed by the water corporation.

An online survey is currently open for recreational users to share what you value most about the recreational areas at the water storages managed by GMW.

Feedback provided will help GMW to support facility improvements, better understand changes in recreational needs, enhance visitor experiences, and
inform future projects.

👉🏽 Have your say via the online survey here: https://yoursay.gmwater.com.au/recreational-area-management-plans

The survey closes Wednesday 6 May, 2026.

New to fly fishing or just want to know who we are as a club, then come along.....all ages and genders welcome.
Also, if you need a top up or some new fly tying materials, order them now from Troutlore and in the comment section on the order form, nicely ask him to bring them along to the night and he will personally hand deliver your order to you.

Whilst this will not be official up until August, (when tickets officially go online) I've managed to come up with the final draft introducing our 4 main key guest speakers for this year's Australian Fishing & Outdoor Expo.
