ABOUT ‘450’

I grew up in Canberra fishing the local rivers and impoundments for Native freshwater species and regularly travelled to the Snowy mountain lakes for trout. I made the move from Canberra down to the NSW South coast and enjoy fishing for all types of fish from the many beaches, rocks, estuaries and inshore reefs along the coast.

ABOUT ‘SQUIDDER’

I enjoy fishing Canberra's local impoundments, Lake Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains, and the estauries and inshore reefs of the NSW South Coast. I prefer to fish with hard-bodied and soft plastic lures, and ultra-light tackle.

ABOUT ‘PATWAH’

After growing up in Canberra and cutting my teeth on the bread and bitter species of the South Coast, I relocated to the top end to tackle tropical species in and around Darwin. Having moved back to the ACT in 2007, I am rediscovering old skills and refining them, (under the tutorledge of KFA members) to chase species on the South Coast of New South Wales and the local Canberra lakes. Negotiating a small stream with fly rod in hand is my ideal challenge.
