Hi from Stellenbosch

[Galen]

Hi everyone,

My name is Galen and I live in Stellenbosch. I work as a geneticist, where I research the genetic aspects of different human diseases. I started fly-fishing around 1998. After doing very little fishing over the last five years, I am ready to get back into things. I’m especially keen to get back into fishing the Western Cape trout streams. I have already found this forum to be extremely useful!

Cheers

Thanks, unfortunately it's not my photo and I also still need to see one! I go up to Kruger every now and then and we always head up to Pafuri in the hopes of catching a glimpse of one, but keep missing them. One day! Bizarrely enough, there is one that has been spotted in Newlands in Cape Town recently!

Welcome Galen!!

Wondering if you and your team has found out why flyfishermen can't stop thinking of flyfishing? surely it must be a disease, it gets passed on from person to person and causes havoc with a persons thought/decision processes!

Need a excuse to give the lady in my life for why I need to fish more often, if there is scientific proof it might help my cause :tongue:

Hehe, I wish I could find a scientific explanation too! I could do with one today, since I may have dropped my girlfriend's camera in the Smalblaar River yesterday (true story)

That will teach her to buy a non waterproof camera.
