Hi all

this just quick report ...and some pic's

visited Braams place this weekend - in PTA (this place offers catch and release of trout)

he stocked his dams - and what day it was (we caught quite a few stock fish and also some vvery nice specimans over the 2kg mark - and i put 2 golides to my list )

we got fish on white death as well as the orange egg pattern - ... with a sinking DDD

guys- please fish barbless - these fish are so aggressive they were swallowing the fly.

all in all - a nyc day, great venue, and awesome trout...

Nice fish Quicks!

Tell me, a sinking DDD? DDD on a sinking line, or just a waterlogged DDD?

thanks Rory ... sorry im not too clued up with fly language ...
but anyway..

i took the egg pattern - and tied piece of line to that with DDD .... and it you right- cause of the water it sank ... slowly.. and i did a nice slow retreive ... sometimes on bottom -where the bigger fish are

or sometimes mid water- where the stock fish nailed it....but they were smaaking the egg pattern...

hope i made sense..

nyc tip given to us by the owner ..

Browns are something else QB, from what I have learned they prefer wet flies, rather than dry flies and nymphs...

QB im not sure of places in Gauteng that stock them, I think brookwood might have some but im not sure... They are a lot more finicky with water temps and stuff like that...

Walks - Brookwood only has Rainbow

Leeukloof has nice Browns , got at thorough spanking from one there.
