Post by: WalkersKiller on October 12, 2010, 12:57:14 PM

Hi guys, thought I would let you know I am going fly fishing in dullstroom this weekend for Rainbows. Will post report on monday, cant wait its been about 6 months since I hooked anything on fly... Cant wait! Hope to get a few fish over the 1kg mark. Any fly advice for this time of year? I was thinking hoppers, rabs, ddds and small nymphs...

At this time of year I reckon you wouldn't go too wrong fishing some dragonfly and damsel nymphs as well. Check the weeds to see what goggas are about and then adjust your tactics! w;k
