Formallyknownas Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 My mates got Gopro footage will post asap.The oke is taking his damn time with the footage. So, I've dug my Gopro out of the cupboard of broken dreams. Maybe that PB yellow will come out to play while I'm filming.

Formallyknownas Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Any of you guys built your own wooden landing nets? The bloke who fixed my stick recently is making them. Just wondered if any of you have attempted this craft? I'm quite keen to give it a crack as a winter project. The blokes work is phenomenal. I ended up spending quite some time marveling at some gorgeous 1wt Orvis blanks that he's currently busy with. Edited March 1, 2017 by Formallyknownas
Pappa Roach Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Went to the Bushmans river this pass weekend for some fly fishing for wild trout in the DrakensbergFishing was generally tough with the river flowing high with the recent rains, i only managed to catch two fish the whole weekend which is much less than my previous visits, not sure if there are just less fish in the river or if the conditions were just crap. I did manage to catch my PB brownie so was really chuffed as it made my weekend. Eddy Gordo, Rocket-Boy, bertusras and 4 others 7

Â Edit: With our severe drought in the Western Cape, my usual streams have taken a serious knock, as has my fishing. Â So, it is great to see other parts of the country where things are a bit better.

Josh0 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Wowzers that a whopper of a brown! Beautiful fish, wild browns have the best colors. Edited April 13, 2017 by Josh0
Josh0 Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 I caught this big brown at Balloch, Eastern Highlands, in November last year.Was my biggest brown by far, I guess around 3kgs. Pappa Roach, the nerd and DJR 3
