This year the One Fly has returned to Tranquil Rises at Flowerdale. Tranquil Rises is a series of stocked dams holding Brown, Rainbow and Golden Trout, Golden Perch (Yellow Belly) and Murray Cod, check out their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Tranquil-Rises-Flowerdale-Fishing-Camp-and-Cabins-1434880803476057/?fref=ts.

Cost for the day is $35 (incl BBQ Lunch). Beer, wine and soft drink will be available for purchase. Fly Draw at 9am sharp, so donít be late.

Please ensure you let me know by phone or text on 0400883022, contact one of the club committee or put your name up on the board in the club room so we don't get caught short with the BBQ lunch.


To get to Tranquil Rises, make your way to Whittlesea, then on to Hazeldene. 

From Hazeldene stay on the Whittlesea Yea Rd and head towards Flowerdale, just before the Flowerdale Pub keep an eye out for Collins Rd on the right. 

Follow Collins Rd for about 500m, Tranquil Rises is the second property on the left, there is a trout on the fence at the gate, look for the NSFFC Teardrop sign at the next gate which is the access point to the facility. 

There is a main Cabin just above the big dam where weíll meet, go over the dayís event and break for a BBQ lunch.  

Looking forward to seeing you there, cheers, John Smith.
