Auckland Freshwater Angling Club

Derek has been a member of AFAC since 1975 and an Honorary Life Member since 2002.  The 5 essential flies nominated are traditional flies from 'way-back' covering the 3 basic methods of fly fishing, ie nymph, dry and lure. 

Here is my list of the first five items you must buy to start fishing seriously. Whatever you do, don’t make an impulse purchase - take a walk down the aisle of your chosen supplier and ask a professional for their advice. Then go away and think about it. You might need to save up to buy the right one, but it’s worth spending a bit more to get a quality product.
