Mick & Alaine Hall moved to the peaceful little country town of Eildon in North East Victoria Australia in 1999 from the outer-eastern suburbs of Melbourne and from there have continued to operate the Blackridge Flyfishing School, set up in 1994.  You could call it a “tree change”!

Lake Eildon is a man-made lake and with its Pondages, the Goulburn River and the many other little mountain streams in the district, it was the ideal place for a fly-fishing school and semi-retirement.  Mick has fished the area since the late 1950s.

For many years Mick has had a keen interest in the food forms that trout feed on.  The common name for this activity is known as angling entomology.  It is well understood that scientists who study entomology tend to write solely for other scientists rather than to assist fly fishermen with the development of their fly patterns and fishing techniques.  

Over the last four years Mick has been photographing the bugs of interest, specialising in the many species of Mayfly that emerge within this region.
