Sterkies December 2011
« on: December 31, 2011, 01:41:03 PM »
Just got back from a few days at Sterkies. I had 1 day fishing from a   boat and 3 days on foot, parking at the short wall and walking (and   walking and walking . . . ) the banks. The weather and wind was mostly   cooperative and I managed to get at least a few fish every day, probably   around 30 for the entire trip. I fished dries only and the best   producing flies by far were Doctor's Beetles although I also got a few   fish on ants, black klinkies, EHKs and airheads.
  Here are a few random snaps, including a few pics of what is hands down   the most beautiful yellow that I have ever seen, with great black   markings on it.

Nice report back Andrew.  :envy  Great pics as always.
 
Some time next year, sometime, I will be back at Sterkies. It has to be the ULTIMATE ( pun intended ) :lolo: dry fly for yellows venue in South Africa.

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

Thanks guys! Sterkies is truly magic venue and as Rory mentioned, the water clarity is magnificent and sight fishing is the norm. The fish are spooky and can be challenging to catch with makes it even more fun. It is somewhere that I definitely want to fish more.
