Lichia  - thats a cop out response! Sounds like something I would say to my wife so as not to get into trouble (but would get inot trouble anyway!)

If I remember correctly the IGFA states that as long as the line carries the fly and not the other way round it's legit.

This has been a very hot topic before and some pretty nasty things were said . ”Bird Brain “ , “Jou ma se …. “ , Dip sh@t” and and
 
 
For the purists Chech nymping is definitely not fly fishing in the traditional sense . But you are still landing a fish on fly !!!
 
So for the sake of peace , lets let this one go …

I was wondering when this fight was due.
I fish because I enjoy it and I use any technique that I enjoy and because I get to share a cold one with the boys - the next topic up for discussion is sliding whole mackies and occie legs for barble in the vaal...

Having mingled a little bit with "Fly fisherman" I have noticed that that there are 3 distinct goups

1. Absolute purists - will only fish with custom made rods/nets and only target wild trout. Does not mingle with the lower classes.
2. Somewhat Purist - will target most fish sometimes mingle with the masses.
3. Rabble - Will target any fish in any way he can, carries a supply of windhoek and does not give a rats a$$ about what the others think.


There are exceptions to the rules as well.

I fall into line # 3  except for the rats a$$ bit. Keep it up makes a change from reading the banter thread

rabble - without the booze...

[icstuff]

I are be a rabble!
As long as I can get a fish on the other end of the line and the fish ate wat ever was on/next to/ close to the hook. I'm happy! The fish could have eaten the fly out of hunger, shock, self defence or anger I do not give a rats furry behind!
Cheers

We will be celebrating our rabbleness The weekend

This is a family forum! Bad boy!!!!!

Hmmm,
I see the definition of rabble was written just for me.
See you on the water soon, young winter apprentice. 

[UrbanFF]

  Season !!
 
Everbody has moved into Fly mode , come summer and it will die down again .

...and this bad - why ? ......

[Lichia amia]

Nope , its bloody Great 

[Herman Jooste]

Winter on the Vaal is not for WOOSIES.
You blank 3 times out of 4 trips. BUT that 4th trip produces BIG fish ( + 3kg ) on a dry fly.
Them there is also the opportunity of casting for LM, As far as I know Gerrit has the record this winter with a 20lb + Largie. 
 
Others have caught Largies in the 10 to 18 lb range on a regular basis.
 
My turn WILL come, it just takes days and days of effort.
 
No "easy" fishing for yellows on the Vaal in winter, unless you are Herman Botes.
 
( Who is definitely out of my league  )
