To be honest, Im scared where it might take me if I picked up the long stick. The whole barra thing for me started with a cast of a mates bait caster on the footpath just to see if I could, and look where thats ended up............... :o

Fair enough ...... I had the same happen with golf (as you described) - It became a 15 year obsession that was difficult to shake;D ...... till I wised up;)

Hey guys, think some1 asked about flies for toga. John rowe??? i think used to tie some sort of dhlberg divers..i tied some up b4 i went to cania and they worker a treat. basically a deer hair surface fly with a ribbit fur tail... rabbit.. no frog s at borumba i hope. thats probably what ill start with and a couple other nameless chew specials that havent seen the light of day for a while:)

If I can get up there I'm there with bells on. Just not sure how long I can go. I'll bring a long wand as well Brian, so don't feel like a leper. Flyfisho (Chris) should have all the guff for toga on fly at Borumba.......I need to get some casting lessons off Chris as well at some stage. 10wt might be a little overkill for toga though:o

Cheers
Paul

no wand for me just one to make sure bub is born before that date
