The Event
The dictionary definition of conclave is a ‘confidential or secretive meeting’. Whilst there is nothing confidential or secretive about our Melbourne, Sydney or Tasmanian Fly Fishing Conclaves this is the
name we have chosen to give these two day events celebrating all things fly fishing.
Workshop Programs
During each day there are a variety of two x 2 hour workshop programs of your choice to attend.(refer Promo and Workshop program page)
Included each day are two x 1 hour group discussions/demonstrations and tutorials on topics that your Instructors consider of vital importance to all fly fishers.
Lunch morning and afternoon tea is provided each day. Shared accommodation, dinner and breakfast are also provided for ‘live in’ guests.
Ideally participants will attend the weekend as a ‘Live In’ guest.
Alternatively you may come for the day on Saturday or Sunday or both.

Forum Dinner Event
A separate dinner ticket is available for those wishing to stay on after the Saturday classes and enjoy the 'Fly fishing Forum Dinner with the tutors that I call ‘The Best of the Best’.
The venues are first rate and located less than an hour from the CBD.
I have assembled tutors that I call ‘THE BEST OF THE BEST’ from all over Australia to deliver a variety of exciting and informative workshop programs for you to participate in.
The Conclaves provide a good balance between fresh and saltwater fly fishing and most instructors are either Master Casting Instructors (MCI) or Certified Casting Instructors (CCI) with the Federation of Fly Fishers (FFF).
Fishing
In addition to the workshops you may choose to fish at these venues too. In Victoria the lakes are stocked with trout to 8 pounds. In Sydney the lake has contains both Flathead and Bream.
We invite you to come along and enjoy the camaraderie of like minded fly fishers. Celebrate the start of a new season and forge lifelong friendships with those that I consider Australia’s 'Best of the Best'.
