Calling the Fly fishing manne

[Pieter1]

 

Sterkies is insane Piet...daar is nie n beter plek nie.

 

Vaal rivier is naby genoeg vir n dag trip en ek ken die spots redelik goed...Eendekuil is my gunsteling, en daar is monsters in daai water.

Bedonerd! Ins moet kyk na iets vroeg volgende jaar!

hahahaa no, it needs a H, but I type like moegoe...but love some of the fly names

 

RAB...red arsed bastard...small stream troot killer, we won't use it here in GP

Papa roach...stockie troot killer

White death....another stockie killer

[Big H*]

Selfde met die vaal....maar hy "flush" homself darem een keer n jaar met die reens....aan die plus kant(as daar so iets is met rou riool), die vaal se biomassa het baie opgegaan sedert hulle riool laat afloop in hom, veral net onder die barrage, dit stabiliseer meer as dit by parys(sssshhhh, die beste grootbek geelvis waters...dis n geheim ) se omgewing kom.

 

Ja swaer, jy weet nooit of jy 'n gele met twee koppe of twee sterte gaan vang nie en of dit 'n muddy of 'n turdie is nie!!!!!!!!

Woolly Bugger is so een. Ek ken 'n paar woolly buggers wat ek baie graag op 'n tippet sou wou sit met bakstene aan hulle enkels om hulle te laat sink!!!!!!!!

smillie's blue nymph - i don't know what it does, but I know the guy who created it - and it's named after him - so shameless punt.

And my personal favourite - Duckworths Dargle Delight (DDD)

And my personal favourite - Duckworths Dargle Delight (DDD)

Probably the one dry to rule them all....works a charm on yellows but in smaller sizes.

 

My super secret method for smashing yellows in the late afternoon is a foam hopper pattern(my own, made a metal press to cut the foam for three different hook sizes so that I can tie them quickly), the hopper's silhouette could double up as the big night time egg laying caddis with a tiny cdc nymph below it on the dropper. BOOOOM

Oh the Pappa Roach sells old brakes :-)

[rouxtjie]

whahahaha that he does....but a killer pattern none the less....took my biggest brown on this one, it has an awesome action in the zonker tail, it looks properly alive when you retrieve in short sharp bursts. Bitch to tie though. Technically it should work on yellows in deeper pools too, but haven't caught any using it.

This thread needs some pictures! (I realized with a shock how few flyfishing pictures I have because I mostly fish alone. I'll have to do something about that.)

 

Smallmouth Yellow, from a little downstream, Lower Orange, in the Richtersveld. Caught using the short line nymphing technique.

Wild little Rainbow from the Holsloot River near Rawsonville in the Colony. They are so beautifully coloured, much prettier than any stockie.
