Nothing to do with fly fishing ... Kinda

Postby fflutterffly » July 30th, 2008, 7:45 pm

Well, I did it. After taking 3 years off from competing in archery I've purchased a new recurve bow and started training for 2009 World Masters in sydney Australia. So what is the point here? I'm trying to figure out how to fit in fly fishing, maybe in NZ or Aus. I'd like to hear which one you would choose. I'll already be in Aus., but flying in and out of NZ.

When are you going? I might be able to give you a report. I'm going to New Zealand from Dec 15 - Jan 25 (tentatively).

Not only would I be fishing, but I'd also take the bow out and "let the air out" of some tasty animals. I think we are all envious of you right about now.

Sorry rubi but I don't kill things...well not where I can get caught....we may, that is now a big may, be going to Australia in October of 2009. I will only be competing for four days and plan to make it a three week trip.

Actually in this months Fly Tyer there is a guy in Louisiana, tom Tripi, who caught an alligator on the fly using a popper for bass.
