to all the fly fishing nuts out there,

What about a team challenge \

teams of 3.
Cata the first venue?
Catch and release

Thoughts please

I am very interested! Should it be mainly WDs, like a mini-bash, or open to all who may be interested? Can one do this on a bike (keeping in mind gear, clothes, accommodation, etc.)? Fishing only from banks, or kickboats also allowed (boats won't work on a bike...)?

When? It will need relatively long lead time in planning for folks to set up teams, put in leave, make travel arrangements, etc.

But I would love to spend time flyfishing with other enthusiasts, and even better if they are Wilddogs!

I'm sure I can get GRIM on a team from Jozi (mad keen flyfisherman), only need one more...

I think like a mini bash sort of type thingy....

Bikes or bakkies, kickboats but no boats......

Lets get this thing rocking

Mnyameni dam fed by wolf river Hogsback has only natural rainbows

Don't give up on this idea yet Drol!

Just a quick report on fishing Gubu Dam a couple of weeks ago. My visit coincided with the Amatola Flyfishing club's AGM, so I got to chat with a few of the locals. Very friendly folk!

I only fished from the side. Most folks were on some form of watercraft and I would say that gives you many more options.

It is (for me) a strange water. Not much aquatic life (apparently due to all the forestry), so the "usual" nymphs and dries don't bring much action. Locals almost exclusively use largish muddlers to imitate the "gobies" which apparently are the main food source for the trout. I used a variety of attractor type flies. Had success on GRIM's "rooi geraamte" (first cast! and promptly got broken off  ), an ugly bugger with rubber legs, and caught a number of stockies on a minnow imitation (green mamba). No shortage of fish, stocking earlier this year (I think) by some 19,000 fish!

It was cold! being the time of the snow, but what a beautiful place!
