    IGFA International Flyfishing Rules

    IGFA International Flyfishing Rules Equipment Regulations A. Line Any type of fly line and backing may be used. The breaking strength of the fly line and backing are not restricted. B. Leader Leaders must conform to generally accepted fly fishing customs. A leader includes a class tippet and, optionally, a shock tippet. A butt or taper section between the fly line and the class tippet shall also be considered part of the leader and there are no limits on its length, material, or strength. A class tippet must be made of nonmetallic material and either attached directly to the fly or to the shock tippet if one is used. The class tippet must be at least 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) long (measured inside connecting knots). With respect to knotless, tapered leaders, the terminal 38.10 centimeters (15 inches) will also determine tippet class. There is no maximum length limitation. A shock tippet, not to exceed 30.48 centimeters (12 inches) in length, may be added to the class tippet and tied to the fly. It can be made of any type of material, and there is no limit on its breaking strength. The shock tippet is measured from the eye of the hook to the single strand of class tippet and includes any knots used to connect the shock tippet to the class tippet. In the case of a tandem hook fly, the shock tippet shall be measured from the eye of the leading hook. C. Rod Regardless of material used or number of sections, rods must conform and cast according to generally accepted fly fishing customs and practices.

Using standard fly patterns of the day on a tube. • Dozens of different ways to tie tube flies and different types of tubes can be used. • Any thing you can tie on a hook can be tied on a tube • Tube patterns work very well for larger patterns such as; Salmon, Steelhead, Large Steamers, Salt Water Bait Fish patterns some examples. • If you plan on getting started on tube flies some kind of holder for the tube will be needed. • If you plan on tying a variety of tube sizes a specific tube fly vise, such as; HMH 432 Elm St US Rt 1 Ste.

Information on 26 Neophoca cinerea breeding colonies in South Australia The Australian sea lion Neophoca cinerea is restricted to South Australia and Western Australia. This supplementary material provides information on 26 breeding colonies in South Australia that were visited during this study between 2004 and 2008, with details on pup population estimates from which best estimates are summarized in Table 1 of the main paper. It also summarises data on pup counts available before 2004. Mark-recapture estimates are presented with their 95% confidence limits (CL). Detailed counts of all animals in these colonies have been presented in consultancy reports. Data for the other 13 breeding colonies and 9 haulout sites with occasional pupping (which were not visited in this study) were taken from published literature. In addition, 24 haulout sites of the Australian sea lion visited during the study are listed in Table S1 of this supplementary material, together with their geographical positions and counts of sea lions seen on the dates visited.

    HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT HYDROGRAPHIC DEPARTMENT Charts, 1769-1824 Reel M406 Hydrographic Department Ministry of Defence Taunton, Somerset TA1 2DN National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Copied: 1987 1 HISTORICAL NOTE The Hydrographical Office of the Admiralty was created by an Order-in-Council of 12 August 1795 which stated that it would be responsible for ‘the care of such charts, as are now in the office, or may hereafter be deposited’ and for ‘collecting and compiling all information requisite for improving Navigation, for the guidance of the commanders of His Majesty’s ships’. Alexander Dalrymple, who had been Hydrographer to the East India Company since 1799, was appointed the first Hydrographer. In 1797 the Hydrographer’s staff comprised an assistant, a draughtsman, three engravers and a printer. It remained a small office for much of the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, under Captain Thomas Hurd, who succeeded Dalrymple as Hydrographer in 1808, a regular series of marine charts were produced and in 1814 the first surveying vessels were commissioned. The first Catalogue of Admiralty Charts appeared in 1825. In 1817 the Australian-born navigator Phillip Parker King was supplied with instruments by the Hydrographic Department which he used on his surveying voyages on the Mermaid and the Bathurst. Archives of the Hydrographic Department The Australian Joint Copying Project microfilmed a considerable quantity of the written records of the Hydrographic Department. They include letters, reports, sailing directions, remark books, extracts from logs, minute books and survey data books, mostly dating from 1779 to 1918. They can be found on reels M2318-37 and M2436-67.
