I read somewhere that there was flyfishing for indigenous species in the middle 1800's. Probably English colonists that brought their tackle with from England and finding them unsuitable to eat and also difficult to take on fly, started projects to bring Trout ova from Europe.

There was a Khoi guide involved, but the fishermen were 'white'.
