The Australian fly and plug casting season starts 5:00pm, 7th March 2020 with Australia's premier tournament under lights, the Southern Lights Fly Casting event at Southern Fly Fishers Casting pool and clubrooms, Turner rd., Highett, Melbourne.
The tournament comprises 4 fly casting events, Dry Fly Accuracy, ICSF Skish Fly Accuracy, ACF Skish Fly Accuracy and Wet Fly Accuracy. All events are conducted on water. Fly casting is great under lights and there is no better venue for either day or night fly casting than the Southern Fly Fishers casting pool.
Of course, a few of us will be there after lunch and to throw the Fly Casting and the ICSF Fly Distance events in preparation for State, National and World Championships later this year and anyone is welcome to attend for a chat and a cast. Casting sport is both friendly and engaging, and all casters are happy to share thoughts on gear, technique or any other aspect of the sport.

Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
Have a fantastic evening, best of luck to everyone John!
Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
G'day John,
Do you have a calendar of events (or link to one)? If I happen to be in Victoria or planning a trip there, I'd like to drop in and have a play. I need a bit more notice than this though.
Cheers,
Graeme

Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
Thanks Paul, appreciated. I’ll pass on your comments to the casters and the club.
Hi Graeme, I’ll send a syllabus, but anytime you are in Melbourne, give me a yell. If not an event weekend, there are a few of us who cast every weekend. If a weekday, I am always available for a chat and a cast.

Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
Thanks for the offer John.
I'd love to test myself in competition against the best in Australia but I'm not flying over just to do it. If the planets happen to align though, it would be good to get involved.
Are you saying these dates are not published anywhere currently?
Cheers,
Graeme

Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
Hi Graeme
No worries hope to meet for a chat and a cast one day. Tournament casting is a lot of fun and I recommend anyone who is interested, contact a club that conducts events. It does not matter if the casting is on water or grass, it is all about challenging yourself and having fun doing so with like minded people.
I have attached the Australian Casting Federation’s Syllabus of 2020 events.
The Southern Cross events comprise the following Fly Casting events,
Trout Accuracy (5 weight line)
Trout Distance (5 weight line)
Sea Trout Distance (8 or 9 weight 15 plus metre shooting head)
Salmon Distance (Double handed 55 gram head)

Re: 2020 Australian Casting Season
I wish to advise that all Australian Casting Federation events scheduled for March, April and May 2020 have been postponed. The Executive Committee will consider options for the remainder of the season and will advise accordingly. Please follow all advice from authorities and stay safe.
