Fly box found at Four Springs. Does anyone know a James Scharde? (The surname spelling may not be exactly correct). We have a box handed in. It is new and has no flies in it. Let us know if you know James, or what the box is and we will get it back to the owner.

Closed this Friday afternoon 11 September from 1pm to celebrate, reflect and remember Albert Navaro Taurian.
Albert touch the soul of all who knew him. He came to Tasmania the year I was born - 1957 and his first destination was Flinders Island. It was here he learned to speak his version of English - some not fit for publication.
His stories often seemed extraordinary and unbelievable. They may have been stretched over time, but the truth was close by.
Log trucks, Italian delicatessens, shooting, possum skin exporting, the first Launceston licensed restaurant, cheese factory, opera singing, Prime Ministers, Reg Ansett, Sir James Hardy and many who knew him have one or more of his fabulous dogwood shooting/walking sticks.
And anyone who enjoyed his 'lunch at 12.30 and don't be late' meals were lucky indeed. He was a wizard in the kitchen. Albert passed away peacefully 02/09/2026.

A small, but grand achievement today. First day of the Tasmanian trout season with a mate. Both caught a brownie on a dry fly. Small, cold creek, but the reward was there. Bring it on.

Just been to Four Springs and it looks great for trout season opening next weekend. Fixed the camera and it is back online. Check it out Anglers Alliance Tasmania
