Pieter1 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Howzit guys. I have a small budget of R1200 to buy myself and my wife kit. I have a old rod but my reel and fly line is pretty stuffed. I stay in JHB north. Where do I go and what do I buy? I saw Mias in Randburg have some combo's for R400. Shot ouens!

RudoJ Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 So gepraat van Fly Fishing, het enige iemand al daai Flying Fish bier gedrink. Oor die naweek ingegee en gaan koop. Twee geure :orange and lemon. baie soos 'n shandy... Meer nee, ek kan gaan hengel, maar visvang los ek vir die manne wat weet Pieter1 1
Pieter1 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 What you want to fish for TrootBassSM YellofishLM YellowfishCarpBarbelTroot. Ek het bass rods en stuff. Ons vang ook net dalk een of twee keer ñ jaar ñ trout so dit hoef nie top class te wees nie.
rouxtjie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Piet I take it you just want a versatile setup that can do most things, although not perfect for any one thing Get a 5wt, 9ft rod, weight forward floating line, some 3 x tipppet and a spool of green mono for tying leaders.

rouxtjie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 when you feel you want to go tackle some SM yellows on the vaal let me know and we can organize something. Its a tricky technique and very different to your standard troot dam...you hardly cast for yellows....you nymph Storm 78 1
Uni Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Just don't get peeved if it turns out your wife is a better fly fisherman than you - I hear women generally make better fly fishers

If we lived in the woods I'd have to do the house work....:-) i tagged along with my sister to a fly fishing course at some trout farm a few years ago. There were about 15 guys and 3 of us girls - the girls all noobs and some of the guys were "seasoned" anglers. That whole day - 3 fish were caught, 2 of them by me, the other by the other woman. The guys were NOT impressed. Hahaaa.

Gandalf Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) http://www.flyloops.net/latest.phpYou can have a look on there, people sell stuff there too. You can check under trade, there is a map with shops on, so you can choose the place closest to you.I know there were some xplorer had a combo, rod reel, line for something like R600 each. There was also a sensation symnphony combo at a similar price. Nice beginner sets within your price range. You can buy 2 combos for you and the lady http://www.xplorerfl...ing.co.za/rods/http://www.fanaticfi...hony-combo.html Edited November 4, 2013 by Gandalf Pieter1 1
