Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential

demonstrates knowledge of the techniques which apply to the tying of a fishing fly and selects appropriate fly tying tools equipment and materials to match a selected pattern

uses a range of common patterns and a variety of fly tying techniques tools equipment and materials to tie simple fishing flies

inspects the finished fly to ensure it meets all requirements and tests it accordingly

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure production of multiple simple fishing flies for a range of target species that reflect local conditions to demonstrate competency and consistency of performance

Assessment must also ensure access to

an appropriate workshop or facility to construct a range of tied fly fishing products

materials and equipment to tie fishing flies

resources and information regarding fly patterns and methods of tying flies

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge The following examples are appropriate for this unit

observation of testing and evaluating completed fishing flies

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of fly patterns to suit the targeted fish species and details of fly tying construction aimed at particular fish species

portfolio of completed fishing flies

thirdparty reports from a supervisor detailing performance

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector workplace and job role is recommended for example
