Calling the Fly fishing manne

[rouxtjie]

We had a dreadful morning at yfp this morning. No yellows to be seen. All three of us landed some barbel but no yellows or muddies anywhere. My ankles are bleeding.

lol, yfp is difficult wading...still a bit early in the season. I normally find the deeper pools on the other side of the bank(close to the willow trees) produce the best. Lots of muddies at that venue

Had fun with the boys and played a little with the new waterproof Canon.

Yes, the same stream, just further down where it is called the Molenaars.

Bunked work to have a lovely "big fish" morning all by my lonesome in the kloofs. It is starting to interfere with my cycling too!

Handling a fish and a camera and a rod all by yourself is a tricky business, but I liked this picture of a little rainbow that coloured my day on the Elandspad.

Hi guys

 

I am heading to Chinsta next weekend (13th) for 10 days, and besides riding I would like to try and tackle some estuary predators.

 

The river at Chintsa was very low last year, and I had no luck. I thought that this year I can also try the two blind rivers at Kifane?

 

Does anyone know this area regarding estuary flyfishing? Can someone give me some tips on where to go, and what to target?

 

Thanks!

Thanks DJR, I will look around on there.

Results! I found a topic about East London area, and the guys say that the Nahoon river at Gonubie is a good location. Apparently the most northern river at Cifane/Kifane is also a good spot.

 

I also got some fly/pattern tips from the post.

 

Thanks DJR!

We live in an amazing world with a multitude of beautiful things all around us, I sometimes wonder why we so often tend to see only the ugly.
