Fly Fishing this weekend!
« 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

Looking forward to seeing your innovations as well as the fishing.  w;k

Tied a few new one's myself today. Must say the last 3 are very scruffy. :lolo:

If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".
