The NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers
Ross Salvato's The World of Tackle Interclub Meet
April 30 - 3rd May 2010
The NSW CFA Interclub Meet is a social fly-fishing long weekend that is held annually at BlackGold Country Cabins at Wallerawang in NSW on the weekend closest to the beginning of May. It's a weekend where a wide cross section of fly-fishers, ranging from novices to the accomplished come together to share fly tying, fly casting - with free tuition available in those two areas - the exchange of fly fishing knowledge and the opportunity to fish together.
The cottage style accommodation is comfortable and economical and motel rooms are also available.
The Interclub Meet starts at midday on Friday. In the evening a briefing on the weekend is given, followed by a talk from a I&I NSW officer or an experienced local fly fisher who gives an overview on fishing prospects for the weekend. a continental breakfast is available from 5.00 am on Saturday and Sunday, or you have the option to cook in your accommodation. You make your own arrangements for Saturday lunch and there is a dinner with prize drawings in the evening and the winners of the fly-tying and photo competitions are announced. Prize draws (in the form of lucky door prizes) are usually worth a total of around two to three thousand dollars in value and generally everyone receives one.
On Sunday after the Fly Casting competition there is a BBQ lunch and the awarding of the remaining competition prizes.
Fishing is available in Lakes Lyell and Wallace and in Oberon and Thompson's Creek Dams, as well as nearby Central Tablelands streams.
There is an informal Fly-tying, Casting and Fishing competition and a trophy is awarded to the champion club on the weekend.
The entry fee includes accommodation, meals and entry into the prize draws and competitions.
The 2010 Interclub Meet will be held from April 30th until May 3rd 2010 so please put these dates in your calendar. If you intend to use motel accommodation I'd advise you to book early as there were some people who couldn't be accommodated this year.
The cost will be $170.00; if you intend to use the motel accommodation the cost will be $100 per head; (you deal with Black Gold directly for the motel-standard accommodation component).
