It was great landed two decent yellows of about 2 kg each. Conditions were good, warm slight wind, clarity about between 20 and 30 cm. Still not much surface activity. Was fishing the tail end of a relatively deep pool, casting across, down and a slow retrieve against the flow. I found that the takes were very slight , not aggressive at all ( maybe a strike indicator would result in more hook ups) First fish was taken on a olive caddis pattern behind a green stone fly , second on a carrot nymph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30867111.post-1155883699457308882006-08-18T09:48:00.000+03:002006-08-18T09:48:00.000+03:00Hi guys any ideas on what the fishing will be like...Hi guys any ideas on what the fishing will be like this weekend. in terms of weather conditions,flow,feeding depths,fly selections .... hope your nets honk of fishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30867111.post-1155824546718991672006-08-17T17:22:00.000+03:002006-08-17T17:22:00.000+03:00there were a few crocs located in the Klip/Barrage...there were a few crocs located in the Klip/Barrage area, 1 was shot, the rest are "at large" as I understand it. But they are all around 1.5m long and above the Barrage: If you are crazy enough to actually fish in the Klip the crocs are the least of your worries :-)Keith Wallingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00367952168010608017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30867111.post-1155822387744313232006-08-17T16:46:00.000+03:002006-08-17T16:46:00.000+03:00Yes these past winter months have been rather unpr...Yes these past winter months have been rather unproductive ,but I am sure all that time spent on the water will pay off very soon as we have noticed a lot more activity around . The pollution spills are very concerning as I believe this issue has had a significant effect on our system and more importantly our yellows. Our great group of fishing buddies from Klerksdorp spend a lot of time further down ( Potch , Orkney , Stilfontein ) area .... Awesome fishing spots. Colin picked up a nice 7 Pd rubber lip using a carrot nymph last sat. The fish was in great condition, We will keep you updated on catches, condition and patterns. Thanks again.
