    I don't buy SD cards for my digital camera in Gigabytes, rather in Gig tons, since every fish pic. I take adds 2kg's to my camera's weight. Simply can't catch small fish or less than 10 during an outing. Any advice would help?

    All credit to "famous" fly fishers, no Herman I'm not one. These guys have dedicated lots of time and effort into this wonderful pastime, promoting the sport. After the evening rise, I believe they are truly and deeply passionate about fly fishing and has lead numerous "famous to be" fly fishers to take up the sport.

    I know they also get "skunked", I fished against and with some of them and I am truly convinced that 10% of fly fishers catch 90% of the fish and 90%, 10% of the fish. Time on the water is what counts.

    Wonder what the trout have to say about this thread?

    Yip, he has done a lot to promote fly fishing for trout in SA.

    I just think (to put things into perspective) that if you just look at the sheer amount of posts that Chris Shelton makes (over 500), he MUST talk a lotta k@k in between the pearls of wisdom ...
    hahaha.....now now....lets not get personal
