‘After three months of hard work, we are excited to have produced a new fly tying book, Fly Cards, to showcase our favourite guiding patterns, and some modern Australian favorites. It’s been more than a decade since Australian’s had a fly tying book to showcase our favourite trout flies. During this time we’ve seen the beginnings of a generational change in fly fishing, and in fly tying. Foam products are now an integral part of fly tying, U.V. reflective materials have opened up a new school of thinking, and the transplanting of British loch-style fly fishing techniques to Tasmania has lead to the development of our own specialised loch-style flies. In Fly Cards I was able to represent these new materials, techniques and styles, and also cover their origin and history.’ – author, Daniel Hackett.
Fly Tying Instructions – Pattern by Pattern
Written by Daniel Hackett and published in Tasmania, these individual cards give clear and concise tying instructions for each of these Australian patterns, along with their use, and the history of each pattern. Each card includes a colour photo of the fly, tying instructions, and a photo of the most difficult tying step.

The basic premise for the book was to answer this question: If you could fish anywhere in Tasmania, at any time, what would the highlights be, and where would you go? We chose the best In Season fishing month–by-month, from September through April (the peak period), and photographed our trip, our experiences and our catches – rain, hail or shine. Use it as a guide, a book for day dreaming, or as a trip planner to help hit the In Season hatch you’re aiming for.
