Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

SISOFSH310A - Tie simple fishing flies

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare to tie a fishing fly

  1. Identify target fish species capable of being lured by an artificial fly.
  2. Identify the natural foods for each targeted fish species.
  3. Determine a fly pattern which meets the target species and environmental application.
  4. Select appropriate fly tying tools and equipment and fly tying materials to match a selected pattern according to organisational policies and procedures.

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

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

third-party reports from a supervisor detailing performance.

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

SISOFSH205A Construct and work simple fishing lures.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

problem-solving skills to:

respond appropriately to technology advancements

determine techniques and equipment to use when tying fishing flies

determine appropriate fly tying equipment and materials

literacy skills to read, interpret and implement fly tying information, patterns and material data sheets

planning and organising skills to:

source appropriate fly tying equipment and materials

determine a fly pattern

ensure all gear and equipment is in good working order

numeracy skills to calculate and estimate material quantities and weights

self management skills to review and reflect on own performance and set goals to improve techniques.

Required knowledge

organisational policies and procedures to enable safe conduct of activities

industry fly tying and fishing terminology to enable appropriate selection of fly fishing tools, equipment and materials

fly tying construction and evaluation techniques to ensure safe and effective use

equipment, tools and materials used to tie a simple fishing fly, its characteristics and technology, and advantages and disadvantages of the range of equipment

natural foods for each targeted fish species

fly patterns to suit the targeted fish species.
