Next Club Night
Monday 23 March 2026 from 6.30 pm - Didymo Dave
Better known as Didymo Dave, Dave Cade is one of those quiet, tireless champions who just gets on with the job. His work in biosecurity and conservation has earned national recognition, including the Minister for Primary Industries’ Biosecurity Award and, more recently, a King’s Service Medal in the 2024 Honours List.
He’s been at the heart of the Check, Clean, Dry campaign, helping protect our waterways from freshwater pests. But alongside that, he’s done just about everything you can imagine to support his local community and environment. From clearing access tracks and removing weeds, to mentoring young people, picking up riverbank rubbish, and educating anglers – Dave truly walks the talk.

For many years the club has sponsored and hosted local kids who may not otherwise get the opportunity to catch, fillet and eat their own fish. Needless to say it has been a highlight for many young -(and older)-lives. We are active in our community and encourage others to share in our fly fishing world
