Tiaan, ons almal weet jyt niks gevang nie want jyt gele en Vikings kyk en nie gaan visvang nie....hahahahaha....all jokes aside....ek love dit om te hoor hoe die manne blank en sukkel maar dat jy elke keer net beter en beter visvang...come somer, winter, lengte, herfs...the best day to go fishing always ends with a Y....as jy confidence het gaan jy visvang...period...sekere kondisies is verseker moeiliker om in te vang...maar die vis MOET eet...hoe sterker die stroom...hoe meer energie word gebruik...hoe meer moet geeet word, vis is koud bloedig, so ja hulle raak stadiger soos die water kouer raak, MAAR hulle het nogsteeds nodig om te eet sodat hulle lywe nie in shut down mode in gaan nie....hy gaan dalk nie so greetig "chase" nie maar as die vlieg op die regte plek is en dis die moeite werd vir hom om dit te eet (energy expelsion vs reward) dan sal hy. Wat te veel ouens vergeet is dat 'n vis se ouderdom nie in jare gemeet kan word nie. A fish only has a certain amount of heart beats in it's life. The colder the water the older the fish becomes as a result of this. Colder water slows down the heart rate, the longer the timelapse before the next beat the longer the heart beats will last. This is a FACT. Studies have been conducted and proved this to be true. A bass (excuse my limited fish vocabulary as I am refering to a bass once again) in warmer regions have been proven to have a lifespan of no more than than lets say 7 years give or take depending on the average water temp. The same studies were conducted in much colder regions with the same species obtaining life spans of over 12 years.
Why should you care for a trophy fish so much? The odds are staggering for a fish to grow to that size. Lets say a hatch is successfull and 80 fish for every 2000 eggs hatch. After that there is predation, natural disasters etc...human intervention...pollution, and this stupid alien invasive species bollocks. And then also genes that play one of the most important roles of producing a trophy sized fish. Your chances of catching that record fish has less odds than you winning the lotto. Top put this into perspective and how big fishing really is, take your typical game at loftus. Rugby is supposedly the biggest sport or the most coveted in South Africa. Less than 70% of those spectators have ever even held a rugby ball. 90+% of them have held a fishing rod 
As jy die ergste kondisies brave en jy is gellukig genoeg om jou offering te kan laat natuurlik lyk en voor een se neus kry GAAN hy hom chow...gaan vang vis en geniet dit...los die ander manne om met hulle scientific theories te deal en te top in die huis....mense is te genuig om te vergeet dat vis...maak nie saak watse spesie dit is nie net twee switches in hulle klein breintjies het...eet en n#@i = survival..one cause....goed is soos duiwe...al die manne wat "dink" hulle ken van maak dit baie meer complicated as wat dit regtig is....hou jy net aan fish en hou aan pics stuur...
Groete...
Jou tjommie wat crocs op mense se voete wil ban...
The worst day on the water is better than the best day at the office...blanks of te not...elke vis het 'n prys...e meen 'n fly...
The principles in life you gather from fly-fishing will make you a better more successfull person...
