Nice of Reefman to create a trout section - lets hope I am not the only one who is excited about this!

Ja, very lekker.

Maybe we should get the trout thread moved to the fly fishing thread?

The flyfishing thread would be for saltwater flyfishing I would assume - you can also flyfish for carp, yellow fish etc - so I think a dedicated trout thread is better - for trout fishermen that is!

I am also a fly fisherman and have caught many different species on fly.

I am a big fly fisherman and especially like targeted Rainbow Trout... My PB is 2.4kgs: one of the best days of my life... I mainly enjoy dry fly fishing for rainbows, also like fishing the nymph and of course retrieving the woolly bugger and walkers killer... Heres my biggest Rainbow this year, caught in the Dullstroom area, weighed exactly 1kg, got him on a black woolly bugger...

Great stuff Gerhard, nice fish and pictures

Gerhard · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:02:12 PM »

Thanks,

I have caught over the years a lot of trout...

Growing up in Dullstroom in the early 80's...

I have caught a lot bigger trout but size does not matter each one is a lot of fun

The fly at the bottom did the damage

WalkersKiller · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:09:29 PM »

The bottom fly does look deadly :sml:

Its Mrs Simpson's No 12's

The top one still got to be used...

Bottom one got hammered a bit on Friday...

I think he needs to retire to the fly wall

Haha, yeah looks like it was destroyed by the fish! How fast was your retrieve?

Gerhard · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:14:50 PM »

You have to play with the speed.

I fish with a sinking line.

Some of them took the fly while retrieving fast.

Some took it on a slow retrieve...

WalkersKiller · « **Reply #19 on:** July 26, 2010, 01:17:17 PM »

Yeah, just wondering how aggressive the fish are this time of year?
