Vaal River Update

[flybum]

hope the winter rain come sooner than later this year for you guys.

Conrad's sculpting sweet looking crabs and chasing musselcrackers on fly ,and after a serious bout of bass bugging I'm chasing yellows again on a very regular basis . You could say we're doing well

Mother nature tossed a curve ball and I had to deal with the curse(wind) all day and even in the evening. BWO's also dragged their asses. Luckily the PMD's made a show of it for an hour ,which brought good fish to the surface(got 2 fish over 2 kg) the trickle of BWO's kept some fish on the top until the caddis brought on the motherload at dusk(more like dark) Mannaged to land 15 fish on the dry despite the "curse" . Almost voted in my waders - but my wife would definitaly not have that

Leke Herman, u truely r vis befark and a excellent yellow hunter,u and Gary.My privilage

Waarvoor staan PMD?

[Gerrit Viljoen]

Waarvoor staan PMD?

PMD: Pale Morning Dun ~ Eerste Adult stage v/d Mayfly.Die lyfie is geel in kleur.

[Yellowfever]

PM - dit is 'n spesie Mayfly wat lig in kleur is.
Dun- is die dowwe kleur van die volwasse insek as dit net hatch. Voor dit vervel. Duns verlaat die water.
Spinner - Die spinner het klaar vervel (molt) en het mooi blink vlerkies. Spinners paar en keer terug na die water.

Did anyone fish the vaal today (sat 25th)? Keen on going there tomorrow. How did things go? I'm very sceptical about this winter fishing thing for smallies but I must give it a try...

Did not fish, had some afternoon rain and thunderstorms in the area.

If you do fish, fish deeper water (waist deep and deeper); recently had good success on the caddis control fly and an orange hot-spot brassie.
