Giloolly's Farm - Bedfordview

thank you so much!i'll let you know either way, in advance.
i have such withdrawls at the moment i was explaning the beauty of the 2 4wt's to my wife while waving them round the room

Im sure...

You must also let me know if you want to fly fish or bait fish... I can put you onto some bass, maybe a barbel, but bait is the better way to go though, I can supply tackle 

[rockspider]

was hoping fly , otherwise i need to bring too much gear along from over here and try and collate it what i have over there.
i'll be sorting through my tackle there, repacking and making notes so i know exactly what i have and where it is

[rockspider]

have you ever tried kloofzicht ?

[WalkersKiller]

Ok cool, like I said I can supply tackle and bait other than fly but no I have never fished Kloozicht, what would you like to target on fly? If you wany Yellows pm Herman Jooste, great guy he will be able to help you out!

[rockspider]

sweet, i have seen the name around the forums, he seems very experienced.
don't want to ask the guys to many questions as they send hours scouting, working, wading, bruising looking for spots and then i come along and say..."hey! where can i catch a beast of a fish in 3 minutes?" 
used to happen to me years ago when i still lived there and out the hours in

Rockspider,
 if you are in Gauteng over a weekend I will more than gladly take you to the Vaal for some yellow action. I unfortunately have to work during the week so weekdays are out for me.
 
The Vaal is not that far from Jo'burg, as you know
 
PM me for phone numbers if it's in your itenary.
 
P.S. Rory only uses a 4# on the Vaal. 
 
There again he is a "finesse" fisherman, and I'm the "Herminator" 

[rockspider]

hey Herminator,

thank you for the kind offer, i mentioned to WK i am so keen to wet  a line , however my time is rather limited this trip however once i have a more confirmed itinerary i'll let you guys know either way.

if not this time, what about next year ?  :)
we'll be back for a more relaxed trip, or so i hope.

i got smashed on a 4wt last time i was on the vaal but managed a cute barbel, but his mom and dad completely buggered me up, i can only think it was large barbel that took so hard , fought so hard, straightened hooks and caused me to knit trees.
(even the guide was excited )
..........so i went and bought a #5 


i hardly use the bigger sticks anymore but i hope to tackle a pike over here this winter on a #7

[WalkersKiller]

A Pike on fly must be an awesome fishg to catch!

April is a GOOD time for the Vaal, especially if the flows have dropped early and the floods haven't been too severe.
There "should be dry fly fishing coming on around that time as well.
 
Just keep me in the "loop".
