sounds great

if anyone needs crew in the central west region particularly bathurst/lithgow flick me an email, am always very keen to go out. just waiting for my old man to bring up the tinny from Vic...so in the meantime i should learn something about the area from someone who knows. got all the gear and a bit of an idea will chip in for costs also...obviously corey_hemopo@hotmail.com

"oh and get some on water experience on the Fish River great browns and will giv eyou great practice for NZ!" i have heard that it's pretty good at Fish River, i'm only new to the bathurst region but will be definitely hitting up the local spots once i'm kitted out. Thanks again for all your help during the steep learning curve, and everyone else too of course.

awesome thanks very much fellas, will definitely be hitting you up for some secret spots "luderick-angler"!! Am going to be all over NZ north and south following the mighty All Blacks around, and the girlfriend loves her wobbalies too! Now I've had a good look at those TFO's, geez they look the go, nice 4 piece 9ft 6wt for $150 with case and warranty!

Thanks for that, now i think I'm ready to talk brands in the $300 range, does anyone have any insight that has been shopping recently, is any of the stuff on online auction sites ok?

So there's a difference between salt and fresh reels then, no worries. thanks for the tips about lessons, have already got my xmas wish list in in one of the other forums someone suggested redington...is it any good??? Is the main difference between a fresh and saltwater reel just the corrosion thing or is there a difference in action. cheers.

Hi...I've got 2 trips planned next year, 1 to Tassie and the other to NZ for 6 weeks over the rugby world cup, and I thought to myself "better learn to fly fish". I would love some tips of what to buy initially (in the $300 range), weight class, length, line all that stuff. Have never fly fished before. I was thinking about a 6 weight but that's a bit of a guess. The ideal combo would also be able to be used in estuaries after flatties, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers
