the kosciuszko dun - an aussie icon

 

We have developed this site as an interactive facility for fly tyers who love to create.  Our goals are simple, they are:

    *To create a website of Australian fly patterns that represent the trout food found in or along our waterways.
    *To develop a photographic gallery of those insects important to trout and the fly tyer.
    *We also hope to create a reliable hatch chart of the most essential food forms that attract the attention of our Australian trout in both lakes and rivers.
    *To introduce to Australian fly-fishers a collective of some of the most creative fly tyers in the world.

the world tuscany open fly tying competition is on again in november 2010!

Why the name kossiedun?  The Kosciuszko Dun, so named by the late Mike Spry, is synonymous Australia wide as being the king of our Mayflies and typifies much of the folklore behind the fly patterns of Australia.
