    Dough not kid around you lot ... when your flies aren't working, just nip them off and put on bait, it's still fly fishing, isn't it?

    I just dip my flies in some super cast vaal dam special, works a treat. And that way it's still fly fishing :biggrin:

    Bill seems to be physically recovered, but with some niggles every now and again. Mentally could be another story.

    Let's be honest, he was bloody lucky to get out alive.
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    Except for "hiding" the high levels of e.coli and phosphates in the river, when flushing it would also dislodge most of the snot (old man's beard)......stuff is like a underwater forest this side. But I wonder if smallmouths don't benefit from this? I pick a piece of the snot up it is full of mayfly nymphs, bloodworms and even the odd cased caddis. It gives them their two favourite stuff.....shelter and food. Fishing the channels between them is the only way, and doubling your line from a 3.5kg tippet to 6 solves the big fish running into it....and fishing one fly. Not perfect, and not textbook stuff, but you adapt to your conditions.

    Flyfishing for yellows...the most fun a man can have, with his clothes on, while standing up, holding a bar of gold in your hands.

    Nymphing, adds depth to your fly fishing.
