Saturday 17 March saw ten members on the CCFR meet for a fish at the Paterson River near Paterson. The weather was fantastic for Bass fishing. 32 degrees, sunny and a light breeze blowing to keep things a little cooler.

The second casting of the Central Coast Fly Rodders took place at Woy Woy, just down from the Fisherman's Coop. Nine members showed up for what turned out to be a good morning, both fish wise and weather wise. At last we scored a day that wasn't windy or raining. Instead we got heat and humidity, but with it came some fish and we even managed to get people that hadn't caught fish on fly or never caught fish on fly in the salt, connected.

We arrived at the Elizabeth Bay Shops at 1pm and moved on to the car park in the National Park, got our gear out and started the walk down to the rock platform.
