2012 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships: Tasmanian Team Wins

Tasmania received great world wide exposure during and following the Commonwealth Fly fishing championships held on Tasmanian waters in February this year resulting in a surge of national and international anglers booking a Tasmania trip to experience this exceptional trout fishery.

The Tasmanian team won the event convincingly beating competitors from all parts of the world including a “bone fishing” team from Christmas Island who had never left their home or flown in a plane and had certainly never seen a trout but all were exceptional fly anglers and were later presented with the friendly team award.

The Tasmanian 2012 – 2013 trout fishing season opened 4th of August 2012 and will continue through to the end of April 2013. With good autumn and winter rains producing high river flows and some record lake levels, both local and interstate anglers are anticipating one of the best trout fishing season for many years.

What is attracting anglers to Tasmania is the variety of trout waters from lightly fished rivers with large numbers of wild fish to thousands of pristine stillwaters in the Western Lakes area which would take a lifetime to explore.

Also the many variations of fly fishing available and the hugh range of hatching bugs throughout the season makes fishing Tasmania a real challenge for any angler.

How To Buy A Good Forklift Seat

A forklift seat, as the name implies, is a type of specialized seat that is used in forklift and other heavy industry vehicles. When buying this particular type of seat, it is important to assess the seat that you want to buy. Although all brands of this particular seat come with the same design, it is important that you purchase those that are made by reliable manufacturers.

On the other hand, it is also very important to buy forklift seats that come with excellent features. One of the most important features of truck seats include cushioned back rest. A high quality seat for fork lifts or any kind of truck seat for that matter needs to have a back rest that takes on the counter of the spine. Thus, when buying a forklift seat, it is important that you buy those that have an S-shaped back rest because it provides full support to the spine.

Another feature that you need to look for when buying a truck seat for your forklift is  its ability for height adjustment. Different forklift drivers have different demands and buying a seat that can easily be adjusted allows comfort to the driver. When shopping for one, it is important that you try it out by sitting in it for a few minutes to assess whether the seat is what you are looking for.

Although it is important that you focus on the quality of the seat, it is also very crucial that you look at its other features. Most excellent seats for fork lifts come with an ergo armrest.  Ergo arm rests are very important because it provides support to the arms while driving the vehicle. Look for seats that have ergo arm rests that can be adjusted and also come with padded cushions. This is to ensure that you will have enough comfort on your arms while operating the vehicle.

Aside from the ergo armrest, it is of equal importance to buy seats for your forklift that also come with a neck support. Since forklift operators spend a lot of time in a sitting position, they easily strain their shoulders and neck area thus buying those that come with neck support is a great option.

Forklift seats are very simple but it is important to carefully select them so that you will be able to perform properly at work and also prevent yourself from suffering acute pains on the neck and lower back region.
